"TO THE RESCUE"...A FEEL-GOOD BALLAD LISTEN TO THE COMPLETE SONG AND PURCHASE AT: http://feliciahun.bandcamp.com DOWNLOAD ON ITUNES AT: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/to-the-rescue/id215287169 This special 2007 re-issue of “To the Rescue” coincides with the song being featured in the Vanessa Williams film “And Then Came Love.” “To the Rescue” is a maxi single consisting of four mixes: 1) the main version featuring sisters Felicia and Cheri on vocals, 2) the “Core Mix,” minus strings and keyboard, 3) the “Butta Mix,” a contemporary jazz-flavored instrumental with saxophone lead, and 4) an instrumental of the main version. In addition to performing vocals on “To the Rescue,” the song was created by the multitalented sisters, from beginning to end. It was completely written by Felicia (both music and lyrics), who also determined the instrumentation. The sisters, who both play viola, also teamed up to arrange and produce the R&B ballad. The music consists of a seamless blend of lyrical piano, agile drums, insistent bass, counter-melodic strings and cadenced percussion, a combination that provides the perfect setting for the fluid, background-supported lead vocals. Preliminary tracking for “To the Rescue” was done at Bar None Studio in Connecticut. During these sessions, pianist Vickie Tsui generously volunteered her time. The final, commercial product was recorded at three New York studios, with several different engineers at the boards at various times. The song was mixed by Carl Nappa (with the exception of version #3, which was mixed by Greg Pinto) and mastered by Chris Gehringer at New York's Hit Factory. “We did a tremendous amount of work in the studio,” says Cheri. “But we wanted to take the time to get it right. The result is that we know we have a good product, something we can be proud of, that is exactly what we intended it to be.” THE "TO THE RESCUE" CD MAY BE PURCHASED THORUGH THIS SITE. INDIVIDUAL VERSIONS OF THE SONG ALSO MAY BE PURCHASED THROUGH DIGITAL OUTLETS. IN ADDITION, "TO THE RESCUE" IS AVAILABLE FOR LICENSING.

The CD also received stellar critical acclaim. Here are some examples: ***** “ … absolutely beautiful and powerful vocals … The harmonies remind us of Brownstone. Whilst vocally it’s in the Mariah and Whitney ballad territory, the sisters’ vocals have more maturity and oomph … There’s a couple of quiet-storming instrumental mixes … This could be a big radio or pop hit if it was picked up by a major. …” -- “Street Level with Kwaku” in the UK-based Chillin online magazine ***** “True R&B heads can appreciate the fact that In Two doesn’t possess the typical, helium-induced, Smurfette voices that R&B/hip-hop seems to be so fond of these days. ‘To the Rescue’ is a lush, mellow, slower tempo song about a Mr. Do-Right who uses good old TLC (tender loving care) to chase away his beloved’s jaded views on love and relationships … [S]trong, wise vocals … tight production … flowing arrangement …” -- Vonetta Booker, Umoja News ***** “Tell you what: this should be a hit, and this is coming from someone who doesn’t like many contemporary R&B ballads.” -- Fran Fried, New Haven Register ***** “ … mesmerizing vocals .. The original is gem enough, but the core mix drops the strings and provides a sparse backing over which the voices shine. Don’t be fooled by the ‘Butta Mix,’ which is supposed to be an instrumental; it’s a bumping, quiet-storming, sax-featured track, but adorned by sweet, soulful harmonies.” -- DJ Magazine (UK) ***** “In Two has vocal power for the masses.” -- The Hilltop, Howard University’s student newspaper Previously available only at a few select music stores and through the sisters’ periodic direct-sale campaigns, “To the Rescue” was re-issued commercially in 2007 to coincide with the release of “And Then Came Love,” a film starring Vanessa Williams, Eartha Kitt and Ben Vereen. “To the Rescue” is one of the featured songs in the film. It can be heard during a pivotal scene, when the main characters meet in person for the first time and are getting to know each other. The movie opened in theaters last spring and now is available on DVD. "We're so excited about our song being in a movie," says Cheri. "We were thrilled to hear our voices on the silver screen!" While Cheri favors version #1 of the song -- the variation used in the film -- Felicia says her favorite is #4. "I just love how the music flows, and how it stands alone on its own even without the vocals," says Felicia. "Every time I put on the CD, I wind up playing #4 over and over again." Felicia and Cheri welcome your comments and feedback. Email felhun@yahoo.com. The sisters thank you very much for listening to and considering "To the Rescue." Your support is very much appreciated.
