Robert L. Smith Records/Mixes for “Burma Soldier” Score with U2, Notches Hits with “Glee”

NYC-based producer/engineer Robert L. Smith, founder of Defy Recordings, has been involved in a pair of recent high profile film/TV projects.

Robert L. Smith of Defy Recordings helped power the new “Glee” album to the toppermost of the poppermost.

Smith worked with film composer Paul Brill on the score for HBO’s upcoming film, Burma Soldier. Smith and Brill recorded a string quartet at Avatar Studio G to accompany an acoustic version of the classic U2 song “Walk On”. Smith mixed the song, which will serve as the music for the end credits, at Defy Recordings’ studio in Hell’s Kitchen.

In addition, the album Glee: The Music Presents the Warblers was released on April 19, entering the Billboard 200 at #2, as well as the iTunes album charts at the same position. Smith recorded/mixed four songs on the accapella collection, including the first (and so far only) #1 “Glee” hit “Teenage Dream”, along with “Silly Love Songs”, “Bills Bills Bills”, “Hey Soul Sister” and “When I Get You Alone”.
