Song in Sex and the City : The Movie

Our very own Daniel Holter and Mike Standal have scored another songwriting coup, placing their song “Fall” in the hottest flick at theaters this spring, Sex and the City : The Movie.

Through our association with the music licensing company Crucial Music (and Crucial’s Tanvi Patel), the producers of Sex and the City licensed the instrumental version (known as “Catch Me” in the movie credits) of one of our jazz ballads.

With a nod to the standards of yesteryear, the full version of the song features Marcella Mortellaro, a longtime friend of the songwriters and collaborator at The Burst Collective who now resides in Nashville.

If you’d like to support the creation of a full-length recording with Marcella, buying her songs through Amie Street is the most direct way of doing so. We’re hoping to parlay this movie placement into finishing the project we started a couple of years ago for Burst Records. Until then, enjoy the music!
