The Album Relationship Remix
The Relationship Remix documentary will feature a groundbreaking music EP soundtrack, produced by Chris Sharpe, Fresh Kils, Jay Evans, and Serj Bhatti. Each couple’s story will inspire seven original songs, but these won’t be just any songs; they will blend the unique cultural backgrounds of the couples.
For example, imagine the vibrant rhythms of Jamaican music fused with the intricate beats of Pakistani traditions. This innovative approach celebrates cultural diversity and highlights the beauty of mixed relationships. The EP will be crafted in collaboration with music producers from across Canada and recorded at a Manitoba-accredited studio.
In addition to exploring the evolving dynamics of mixed relationships Canada’s fastest-growing demographic the documentary will provide a unique musical experience. Viewers can download these culturally inspired tracks, creating a deeper connection to the couples’ journeys.
