Article From Gaming Today:
EA has announced the soundtrack line up for the upcoming The Sims 2: FreeTime soundtrack. The list of US artists includes Natasha Bedingfield, They Might Be Giants, Great Northern and Fire Flies. International talent featured on the soundtrack are the bands Lexington Bridge from Germany, I’m From Barcelona from Sweden, Datarock from Norway and the artist Lara from Spain. All the performances, including Bedingfield’s “Pocketful of Sunshine,” are in the language of The Sims, Simlish.
“The Sims 2 FreeTime offers many ways for your Sims to express themselves creatively, including music,” said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Music Marketing at EA. “This in-game soundtrack full of talented musicians from around the world, such as Natasha Bedingfield, is the perfect backdrop for your Sims to discover and develop their passions.”
“It was such a fun and delightful challenge to learn how to sing in Simlish,” Natasha Bedingfield added. “The language of The Sims captures a wonderful sense of beauty, creativity and humor, so my song ‘Pocketful of Sunshine’ translated well!”
I still can’t believe they get all these bands to sing in Simlish. There’s even a video out for Natasha Bedingfield’s “Pocketful of Sunshine.”
The In-game Soundtrack credits are listed after the break.
