According to a press release, all of the “vocal moments” in Red Dead Redemption 2 are produced by Grammy award-winner and frequent Brian Eno collaborator Daniel Lanois. In addition to his production, the score features vocal performances from a range of award-winning artists that will be revealed on the game’s release.
