Overall, this project has been very inspiring and I’m proud to be a part of it.” The story behind the film is heartwarming and moving and I was inspired to convey that emotion in this song.
Yatra, who was a big winner at both this year’s Latin Grammys and American Music Awards, and has nominations for the upcoming Grammy and People’s Choice Awards, said: “I am extremely honored by Rita Wilson’s invitation to join her on ‘Til You’re Home’ for the A Man Called Otto soundtrack.
I’m so excited to finally share one of my favorite songs I’ve ever been a part of writing.” When Rita and I started to collaborate for it, each word and melody of ‘Til You’re Home’ seemed to be waiting for us like little steps on a path to what the story needed. Notes Hodges: “It’s always special to be a part of writing for a film, and especially one as beautiful as A Man Called Otto. We were incredibly lucky he said yes and all the planets aligned.” I envisioned it as a duet…I have loved Sebastián Yatra’s voice since hearing him in Encanto and he felt like the perfect person to do it. There are two LatinX characters in the film – I wanted to find a way to bring them into the song.
RITA WILSON MUSIC MOVIE
This is a movie about love, the depths of love and how love continues even after a person leaves this earth. A lot of the inspiration began with David Magee’s script. “David Hodges and I had written together before and have always been like-minded musically and lyrically. “As the producer of the film, my first allegiance is to the film and to the director’s vision,” she goes on. I was very humbled and grateful for the opportunity but also made him promise to be honest with me if he didn’t want to use the song. He was familiar with my music and felt that I should also sing the song. Says Rita: “Marc Forster, the director of A Man Called Otto, asked me to write a song for the movie. The song is a first-time collaboration between Wilson and the Grammy-nominated Yatra, with their poignant vocals set against piano and strings that capture the film’s themes of love and loss.
