Music Respawn! Michael A. Levine And The Secrets In "Go Tell Aunt Rhody"

Capcom

There's a special skill involved in writing music for trailers: create a mood, but don't give away too much! Michael A. Levine's horrifying version of the folk song "Go Tell Aunt Rhody" in the trailer forResident Evil 7has stirred up all kinds of theories about hidden messages. We get to the bottom of (some of) them in our conversation.

Although nearly 100 singers auditioned, JordanReyne stood out from the rest. Michael describes her intense sound as a voice you're compelled to listen to.
