Jessica Sanchez to sing “Stronger Together” campaign jingle of Hillary.
Filipino-American singer Jessica Sanchez said that she did not have a second thought in grabbing the offer to sing Democratic standard bearer Hillary Clinton’s campaign anthem.
The 20-year-old half Pinay singer said that she did a ‘last minute’ recording of the song, “Stronger Together”, and did not expect that it would come out great when it was played during the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Philadelphia last week.
“It was so last minute. I went in the studio, they mixed it that night and they sent it out the next day. It’s crazy to me, because I didn’t think it was going to happen that quick”, told Jessica.
The song was written by Carole Bayer Sager, Bruce Roberts and Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds who personally picked the American Idol Season 11 winner.
“With everything that is going on in the world right now, it’s important for all of us to come together and stay strong”.
Hillary Clinton supporters eager to purchase Jessica Sanchez’anthem recorded for her presidential campaign don’t have to wait any longer because it is available for download.
Sanchez also revealed she would return to the studio with Edmonds to record a commercial version of the track.
“It will be the first time that I will actually ever meet Babyface and work with him,” she said. “I am really excited for that”.
In 2012, Jessica also performed in DNC for US President Barack Obama.
Sanchez rose to fame when she finished runner-up on the 11th season of American Idol in 2012. During the show’s 15th-season finale last April, Sanchez brought the house down with a guest performance ofThe Prayer, the classic Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli track, written by Sager. Impressed by Sanchez’s vocal chops, Sager contacted her team last week to ask whether she would be interested in recording Clinton’s campaign anthem.
On Thursday, August 4, Sanchez will celebrate her 21st birthday.
