Singer Jade Thirlwall says working on the official song for BBC documentary Blue Planet III is “one of the best things” she’s ever done.<\/b><\/p>\n
The former Little Mix star worked with legendary composer Hans Zimmer on Into The Deep (Seas Cry), a piece created for the launch of the series narrated by Sir David Attenborough.<\/p>\n
Thirlwall, who debuted the track on BBC Radio 1’s Breakfast Show, told host Greg James working on it was a “very special” experience.<\/p>\n
Blue Planet III is due to air this autumn, but an official release date is yet to be announced.<\/p>\n
During her breakfast show appearance, Thirlwall said Blue Planet, which focuses on the life of our seas and oceans, was her favourite TV show.<\/p>\n
“When this opportunity came in, I might have shed a little tear,” she said.<\/p>\n
“I was just so buzzing to be a part of something so special.<\/p>\n
“I’m a huge David Attenborough fan, I love the planet, I love the oceans. It was so magical getting to write a song all about that.” <\/p>\n
Thirlwall said the track, which mixes her striking vocals with Hans Zimmer’s signature orchestral builds, was written to be “celebratory”.<\/p>\n
She said footage captured by Blue Planet III crews played in the background as she worked on creating the theatrical piece.<\/p>\n
“The song is about the oceans and how special they are, hope, fighting the good fight to make the world a better place,” she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
