Redwood City, CA (March 7, 2007) - Electronic Arts today revealed the
soundtrack for The Sims 2 Seasons.
From EA:
Fans of The Sims games will be thrilled to learn they can hear their favorite
musical acts—artists like Lily Allen, The Veronicas and The String Cheese
Incident—reinterpret favorite hits in Simlish, the native language of The Sims.
The Sims is the blockbuster video game franchise that celebrates self-expression
through virtual, everyday life.
“Recording “SMILE” was a great experience for me. Sometimes revenge can be fun,”
said Lily Allen. “But getting to sing it again—IN SIMLISH—came very
naturally and it was hilarious to practice! The silly language and
whimsy of The Sims games are a perfect fit for the song. I was laughing
the entire time!”
“Being well-versed in improvisation, we felt up for the challenge of
re-recording our song, ‘Close Your Eyes’ in Simlish. The Sims' language may be a
bit unfamiliar, but musically it actually translates fairly smoothly; its
cadence is quite musical,” said Kyle Hollingsworth of The String Cheese
Incident.
"EA leads the industry in creating groundbreaking music for our
top-selling titles, and The Sims is perhaps the most unique opportunity in
the world today. It takes a special kind of artist to accept the challenge and
have fun with the experience. Lily Allen, The Veronicas and String Cheese
Incident all brought tremendous creativity and enthusiasm to their sessions, and
the result is some of the most surprising songs yet in a Sims game. We're proud
to have their hits in 'Simlish' for our worldwide audience of more than 85
million Sims fans," said Steve Schnur, Executive of Worldwide Music and
Marketing at EA.
