Follow on Google News | Debbie Gibson Rises In Contention for Best Original SongPop & Broadway Star Debbie Gibson recognized by the Academy and on Oscars shortlist for Best Original Song for “Rise” from the motion picture “3 Billion and Counting”
By: Buzz Entertainment Public Relations (PR) Dr. Rutledge asked Gibson to come up with a song idea which eventually became a collaborative labor of love. "After seeing a rough cut of the film it resonated with me deeply," says Gibson, who is working on a new record slated for release later this year. What’s immediately impressive about the track is how worldly it is… "Lion King" meets "We Are The world" - a soulful departure for the “pop princess”. The song is very compelling and touches ones heart on a deep level. This true labor of love has received rave reviews from not only the film community, but various political organizations. Even shock-jock Howard Stern, who experienced some bed bugs problems of his own (possibly owing to the DDT-ban), spoke to Dr. Rutledge on his Sirius/XM Satellite show via phone. "Rise" stands out as a song with global impact on the short list of contenders for Best Original Song at this year’s Oscars (to be announced on January 25). “It’s always been a dream of mine to touch people through the medium of film," says Gibson. "I hope this song and film move people to action to end this ongoing needless suffering.” For a behind the scenes look at the making of "Rise," watch http://www.youtube.com/ # # # Buzz Entertainment Public Relations (PR) is a boutique firm specializing in the music and entertainment industry.
