This album features interpretations of classical and pop favourites from Beyoncé, Christina Perri, Coldplay and Green Day

Vincent said; “I’ve recorded four albums so far with big orchestras, I wanted to do something different for my next album and I wanted to surprise my audience. At first I thought that a quartet record would be crazy to do, but it works. It’s incredibly hard to make a record like this. When you sing with a string quartet you need to sing to perfection. There is no room for mistakes.” On the selection of songs, Vincent said; “I’m an artist that listens to all kinds of music: pop, rock, any genre. A lot of my friends aren’t into classical music. I wanted to open up the classical music genre to more young people, so I recorded these songs in a classical way. If you listen to ‘Burn For You’, ‘Halo’ and ‘Jar of Hearts’… no opera artist has recorded those kinds of songs before.”
