Trevor Horn

Three L10ns

2010-06-21T15:13:48Z

As the nation puts aside its club rivalries and unites for the England team as they kick off in South Africa, there is a new version of the greatest England song ever written to cheer them on with. Olivia Safe adds new magic with her goose bump inducing ‘its coming home’ refrain. David Baddiel and Frank Skinner – the song’s original creators – also feature on the track. Originally a fan anthem during Euro 96 which has accompanied England’s progress at every major football tournament since, 3 Lions 2010 is backed by a full orchestra and choir and was recorded at Abbey Road Studios. It was then spirited off to Sarm Studios – commonly known as Trevor Horn’s batcave – where it was crafted into a football anthem of Wembley sized proportions. As Trevor himself explains, “It had to be done – I am either the brave one or the foolish one who said I will have a go… I did it for England!” Ian Broudie: "The public really wanted a new version of 3 Lions and after 14 years it felt like the right time to have a new recording but it had to be just right, When I hear this version … I can't wait for the world cup to start!... Trevor has done this brilliant orchestral version of 3 Lions. It has opera singers, a choir and a full orchestra." ]]>

It comes 25 years almost to the day since Jeff recorded the theme to Channel 4's The Tube with Trevor and the Art of Noise THeam. The album has been highly praised by The Independent, which calls it “a masterclass in evocative subtly," not least the "guitar-and-strings version of the Corpus Christi Carol, inspired by Jeff Buckley's interpretation, Beck's subtle control of tone, volume and sustain characteristics quietly accumulating emotional momentum...."]]>
