Introducing "Foreign Phrases"—a comprehensive collection of royalty-free multilingual vocal elements from Polyphonic Music Library, featuring the versatile talents of vocalist Lauren Santi.
"Foreign Phrases" delivers over 135+ meticulously crafted vocal one-shots spanning lead phrases, adlibs, background vocals, and expressive shouts in Italian, French, Japanese, and Spanish. Drawing from Soul, Jazz, Fusion, Funk, and Euro Prog traditions, each vocal element carries its own distinctive character and emotion, providing producers with authentic multilingual vocal textures that transcend conventional sample libraries.
Captured through a vintage 1969 Electrodyne console using an arsenal of classic microphones, varied acoustic spaces, and the legendary EMT 140 plate reverb, these vocals possess the warm saturation and distinctive tonal character of late 60s and early 70s recordings. Perfect for producers seeking to infuse their compositions with the genuine vocal ambiance and personality of a bygone era of analog production.
