Pearls - Aisyah Aziz
FYC GRAMMY AWARDS®, BEST TRADITIONAL POP VOCAL ALBUM
Pearls is a hi-res album by Singaporean artist Aisyah Aziz, published by the audiophile record label Harmony Records and produced by veteran producer Ying Tang.
We recorded the album almost entirely live at Yellowbox Studios (Singapore), using their magnificent Neve 5088. In words of audio legend Rupert Neve himself, this board is "the culmination of all my analog circuits expertise". The 5088 sounds amazing indeed.
As with other hi-res & and hi-fi releases from Harmony, we recorded and mixed at 24/96 with absolutely no compression at all, and just a touches of EQ here and there. The mix was done at Greenroom Suite studios in Singapore, using their fantastic SSL 4000G.
It was a privilege recording and mixing this album. The mastering was done by legendary mastering engineer Bernie Grundman (Michael Jackson, Steely Dan, Prince, to name just a few). Take a listen!
