The Sonic Youtube channel has started a "Sonic Sessions" series, featuring remixes of series tunes, and will release more tracks in the coming months. First up, a snazzy funk remix of City Escape by S.A.M.E. featuring Lyn:
I love it, it sounds straight out of Persona 5 — which makes sense, it's the same singer, Lyn! I wonder why the other musicians are credited as "SAME" — Sonic Adventure Music Experience — rather than individually acknowledged. Kinda weird.
I think because Sonic Adventure Music Experience is the same equivalent as a 'band' (it's basically Crush 40, but without vocals, isn't it?). By the way, arragenment itself was made by Dean DiMarzo & Jun Senoue.
Seems like they reached out to this fellow to use his arrangement, that's pretty neat. https://twitter.com/longestsoloever/status/1471531361337024516
Sounds more like mellow pop than "funk", so I find it very 'meh'... But the original arrangement? Pardon me while I melt.
CD release coming soon on Amazon.co.jp and Play-Asia: https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/SONIC-HEDGEHOG/dp/B09NM1P9QB https://www.play-asia.com/rock-n-sonic-the-hedgehog-sessions/13/70f4of Looks like Live & Learn will be covered too:
Really never knew I needed this in my life, it's very good. This would be an interesting direction for Sonic music
This is definitely random and a load of fun. Dunno if I'll ever actually listen to it in full or put it in any playlists because it's... well its just the sort continue music loop. But I like that SEGA after going to this effort.
I love scatting, especially when it's done with such joy. I want this disc today! Spoiler Don't be immature
I love this cover so much and I never realized how much I needed it until now. I'm also somewhat curious about the credits in the video. It says the track was composed by Sega and arranged by Senoue. Bit surprised they're being tight-lipped about the composers even after the announcement of a widescreen version of Sonic 3.
