I really love the bard music in this game, it's fantastic. Does anyone know if there are plans to release an album of these songs in the near future?

I already have the official soundtrack which is awesome, but it would be great to have these songs to listen to as well!

    You might already have seen it, but here's the artist singing a slightly pimped up version of a song from the game:

    This is what I was listening to when writing the post, it's amazing!

    I'm sure many of us would love to buy this if they made it available.

    I was dissapointed they were not actually on the soundtrack album. They are the part of the soundtrack that most of us notice after all.

    I was really happy the first time I heard a female bard in the game and realized it was Malukah's voice. The male counterpart does OK, I guess, but Malukah is a tough act to follow.

    Having said that, the RP gamer in me would have wanted to hear more than two voice actors for bards, like in Skyrim. True, some Skyrim bards were not really good, but I liked that some inns had better entertainment, and that you got to hear a few slightly different interpretations of the songs. It made the locations feel more alive.

    This person has a number of them up on Youtube, at least:



    His playlist says it's all of them, but he unfortunately doesn't have any of the "Nord accent" bard (male or female).
    He will bring life to the dead, hope to the living, and for him the Gate will open.

    I think there are at least 4 bard voices that sing the songs, maybe 5. So there is definitely a variety of voices.

    I was also very disappointed that the bard songs did not make it onto the official soundtrack. I had been hoping that since Malukah wrote the songs, that this meant she'd be releasing an EP of her own featuring all of the songs, but so far haven't heard anything. :(

    I'd love to be able to purchase an album with all of the bard songs on it!

    God I hope so. I absolutely love the female bard's voice, I wan't to know who that is that did the singing for it.

    [edit] I just read the other posts, and found out her pseudonym is Malukah. Awesome, thanks guys!

    I'd imagine the album would have to be released by Zenimax rather than Malukah since they hired her to write the songs for the game, so they will own the copyright.

    Please release them Zenimax, we want to buy them!
