Dubway Days - Vienna Teng (Part 5 of 5)

Vienna Teng and Ben Arthur debut our brand-new series, Dubway Days. The two artists have just one day to write and record an original song together. In this fifth and final episode of the five-video series, a crunch to the end gets the song mixed and recorded. Will the artists like the finished product? Hear "Reservoirs" for the first time and judge for yourself.

@musitar I absolutely agree; Vienna's stamp is all over this song. and it's so incredibly charming! I really am blown away that this was all done in one day. I hope she puts this on her next CD =)

[musitar]

This was achieved in ONE day! A very impressive accomplishment. Everyone played a significant role, from studio owner, producer, engineer, to artist...

...but the standout talent in this collaboration is, undeniably, Vienna Teng. She shows a propensity for powerful, sweeping melody. This, I believe, is her legacy.

Yes, the song is still available (Vienna kindly extended the giveaway period) for the next three weeks. Details are in Part 5 and on our homepage

Seriously, Vienna Teng has to be one of the best singer/songwriters active today. Everything she touches turns to gold.

Incredible video series with a remarkable outcome. Thank you so much Vienna Teng for sharing the inside steps of producing such a powerful song. A great gift for this extended weekend. Impressed with Ben Arthur & the drummer as well.

Lovely song. The chorus stays with you. It's a great song in any respect, but it's particularly amazing to think that it was all worked over in one day. Great work!

[Ertia]

Magic, indeed! Thank you to BTR and Vienna and Ben for this!
