Mark Ronson – Late Night Feelings
June 12 2019
“Late Night Prelude”
“Just for my own sanity, when I start off a record, it has to be a little bit of a statement—something that’s a little grand and foreshadows the rest of the record. David Campbell, the string arranger, came up with this beautiful, slightly Barry White Love Unlimited Orchestra-inspired arrangement—a little slowed down and psychedelic…” – Mark Ronson

Hanson – String Theory
November 9, 2018
“There were so many questions that we really needed to have a partner that was at his level — that had his level of experience,” Taylor tells PEOPLE of Campbell. “And there are really very few people that can even say they match him. His career arc has been made up largely of collaborations between contemporary music and symphonies, so he’s the perfect translator, so to speak, between our world and the symphony world.”
