It is wonderful. Very happy to have my name in the credits.” ![](https://i0.wp.com/redirect.haulix.com/cModt7Xjc-uA3zThewNFfwFOzsVRTiiuUXi-zICJy5w% 3D/PromoAccessory_072013.jpg?resize=530%2C276&ssl=1) **Photo by Max Skaff** **Renée Lo Bue** discusses recording the song: “Being asked to sing 1/2 of the lead part on “Yesterday’s Girl” was a wonderful surprise.
