THE TRIBE ALBUM!

Last week, the cast traveled back and forth between the Cloud 9 production centre and music recording studios during breaks in their production schedules to record songs for the forthcoming Tribe album, inspired by the series.

John Williams and Matt Prime are highly respected and talented songwriters and producers who have worked with some very famous and successful artists in the music industry. Mr Williams and Mr Prime arrived in New Zealand over a week ago from the UK to record the cast.

The cast have also been busy working with an experienced choreographer for music videos that will be recorded to coincide with the release of the singles and Tribe album.

A documentary camera crew filmed the cast during their rehearsals for the album and this footage will be put together for a documentary about Tribe Series 2 and the Tribe album.

The production team have also been busy scheduling a video shoot which will occur on Monday 13th and Tuesday 14th September.

It will take about another five to six weeks to record the Tribe album at, which point all the tracks and vocals are then mixed together.

We will advise as soon as we can about the release dates for the album worldwide – please keep checking Latest News for more details.
