The songs feature Jen Burleigh-Bentz, Rachel Schur and Mike Millan, and Curtis Wiley.
Transatlantic writing duo Barry Anderson and Mark Robert Petty (Anderson & Petty) will be releasing three singles over the next month which have never been available to stream before.
A few years ago they went into The Cutting Room Studios in New York City to lay down three tracks from various projects that they had been working on. The first release I Do which dropped on Friday August 7th and features vocals from Jen Burleigh-Bentz (Mamma Mia!) follows the life of Erika LaTour Eiffel who legally married the Eiffel Tower. They were asked to write the song as part of a "docu-musical" project called Objects of Desire which detailed the lives of people with Object Sexuality or Objectophilia which is a form of sexual or romantic attraction focused on particular inanimate objects.

On August 21st they will be releasing Dreamworld featuring vocals from Rachel Schur (Chicago) & Mike Millan (Escape To Margaritaville) which started off as a jingle/theme song that they were asked to write for a tea company called Realit✓.
Finally on September 4th they will be releasing He Never Lost The Fight featuring vocals from Curtis Wiley (Ain't Too Proud) which was for a project called Ghost in the House, The Life and Times of Jack Johnson, a play written by Ernie Hudson and Frank Megna and starring Tony Todd of Candyman fame.
