OneRepublic Collaborates with Assassin’s Creed
In partnership with Ubisoft, Interscope will release Mirage (for Assassin’s Creed Mirage) music by OneRepublic featuring Mishaal Tamer.
Inspired by Assassin’s Creed Mirage, the song and lyrics were co-written by the lead vocalist Ryan Tedder. Mirage (for Assassin’s Creed Mirage) also features note samples from the original soundtrack of the title, which is composed by Brendan Angelides in collaboration with lead vocalist and violinist Layth Sidiq.
Ryan Tedder (lead singer) said the following:
“Most people don’t know this about me, but my band and I are closet gamers. I’ve been a huge fan of Assassin’s Creed since the beginning. Having toured extensively in the Middle East, I wanted to capture the spirit of that region and reflect the location of the game sonically as much as possible. I can’t wait for our fans and fans of AC to hear what we came up with. This was a definite pinch myself moment.”Ryan Tedder (lead singer)
Mishaal Tamer added:
“To be featured on a song with my musical heroes, OneRepublic that soundtracks my favorite video game, is a dream come true. I am honored to be a part of this special collaboration with OneRepublic and Assassins Creed.”Mishaal Tamer
