Heather Powers voices six songs for new Rent movie.

THE AMERICAN jazz-tinged singer Heather Powers, whose 'Lay Them Down' album will be receiving national distribution in the US in March or April 2006, provides the voice for one of the characters in the new film Rent based on the recording breaking hit Broadway musical. The film was directed by Chris Columbus (Home Alone, Harry Potter) and Powers recorded the six songs used in the film at George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch. Said the singer, "I really prayed about whether or not I should take the part, due to the controversial subject matter. As I prayed, I realised that one of the reasons I felt so drawn to the opportunity is that the storyline is not so far from my own, before God broke in and rescued me. I was touched by the fact that we all search for things that will soothe the harsh realities of a fallen world and the choices we make when we are living a life apart from our Creator. Sex, drugs, things that might look like love. It reminded me that one of the most significant purposes of my own ministry, as long as I have a platform, is to tell people that God will reach them no matter what they have done, where they have been or who they have become."  CR
