Peter did a podcast with her. She's a trained opera singer in Milan. She's a coloratura Soprano. Has over 300k subs on RU-vid. I agree! Marwan's video editing is INSANE and the vocals are just as good.
This is my new favorite song from The Bass Gang. Perfect video, perfect arrangement, and Ekaterina is one of the most beautiful female vocalists I've heard in a long time.
I’m not sure what OPD actually means but Fever Ray did the original song, so the “o” is probably for original. LOL. In a way these guys are newer than two years. They haven’t even put out 20 songs yet, because all of them have lots of solo stuff going on. In 20 songs, though, see how far they’ve come. They have the resources to bring in Ed Boyer, Marwan’s videography is pretty genius, especially since he has to work with green screen video from each of the guys and guests. This is an astonishingly talented group of guys who are still way under appreciated. It’s time for something of theirs to go viral. Loved your reaction!!
Thanks for the support! Yeah the "O" definitely has to mean original, and I saw that Fever Ray was the original writer when I copied the genius link. Thx again!
Ekatarina is pronounced: Ee (like the first e in "electric") cat (like a kitty cat) uh (like the first syllable of "onion") ree (like the re in renal) na (like Sha na na). The reason I know is that I'm a figure skating fan and there is a female figure skater by the name of Ekatarina (and I won't try to write her last name).
If you’re really interested in the techniques behind this, you should check out Peter Barber’s analysis (he’s the arranger for this one) or Casper Fox’s.
