MTV is reporting that Lee Safar, who was originally short listed for the New Moon album, has not made the final cut of artists. Clearly, they do like her work because she has been asked to resubmit for Eclipse. As part of Lee’s official statement obtained by MTV she stated:
“Summit have advised my team that while they are more than impressed with the songs and with my fan base, the music that was submitted did not fit the overall tone of the soundtrack and won’t be used for “New Moon.” Summit continues to deal directly with my team, both here in Australia and in LA, and have requested that we submit a never-before-heard “Lee Safar” original track for the “Eclipse” soundtrack. To further solidify the relationship between the Lee Safar brand and the “Twilight” franchise, I have been booked for the Official “Twilight” Tour here in Australia next month and will be the only artist performing on this tour. I will be doing press, TV and radio alongside the “New Moon” stars Kellan Lutz, Chaske Spencer, Charlie Bewley and Tinsel Korey.”

Im confused, why is she doing press when shes not on the soundtrack? She must know some one in Summit LOL
I don’t understand why she did press saying she was “short listed” for consideration for the soundtrack, instead of just waiting to see if she made it…unless it was all just for the publicity.
I’m relieved. I listened to her stuff on MySpace and I didn’t like it at all. Too twangy for my taste. But if they’re putting DCFC, Muse, The Used and God knows who else, I’m already happy with the soundtrack.
I’m relieved too Annie! I think her stuff, to not put it lightly, sucked! Sorry but that’s just my opinion. I stoked that we have DCFC and super stoked we have Thom Yorke on the album… cannot freaking wait to hear what he’s done…. that man sweats talent.
I agree and I am glad she wasn’t put on the sound track too. I just listened to I’m here and it doesn’t suit the movie/book at all. One part she says she is searching for the light but not for him, Bella never stopped “looking” for Edward.
I am still hoping that last day on Earth by Kate Miller-heike makes it on there, the song really fits with the movie/book.
I too am glad. She’s talented but I don’t think it fit the movie.
Ha, sounds to me as though she wants this Twilight thing to last another year by throwing ECLIPSE into the mix… when she doesn’t get onto that soundtrack, she’ll start saying she’s in the running for BREAKING DAWN as well… hahaha what a joke…
