Hayley, how did your meeting with Ennio Morricone?
"Five years ago I was invited to sing in Sicily and he was there for a concert, we spoke on that occasion but did not come out no more. For me, however, already know it was just a great honor. Four years later, when I was preparing my new album, came the opportunity of working with him to perform one song. But then Morricone himself wished to arrange the entire disk. For me it was incredible. I began to realize that it was true when I found myself in the studio with him and his orchestra, in Rome. I had the opportunity to choose some songs: among them Cinema Paradiso, the soundtrack to a movie I love most. For this album, as well as Italian, I sang for the first time in Portuguese. "
How was your relationship with the maestro Morricone?
"It [was] really funny because at first I was very intimidated by him. But then the days Morricone has become more relaxed and I eased my nervousness in the studio. Morricone has encouraged me to write the lyrics for three of his songs. "
