Irene Cara, our dear friend, colleague and such an amazing artist! We're still in shock over her passing and the grief of it all is sometimes overwhelming. We lost not only a great artist of a generation, but a deeply spiritual soul that was focused on bringing meaningful and inspiring music to the world. Here's a few pics from sessions over the years with some of the incredible musicians and vocalists she brought in. 🙏🏼💔 Irene will be missed and forever remembered.

This is an especially sad day when we heard the news that Irene Cara has passed away suddenly. This is such shock and I still can’t grasp this. She’s been one of our long time colleagues and we’ve worked closely together for so many years. She will be dearly missed by our FL music family, the musicians that played with her and all of her adoring fans. Please say a prayer for her family if you would. 🙏❤️ We will remember her always with the beautiful music she gave us!
