History
Doug Robb, commented about working with Amorosi, "We were all very excited about how the song 'The Letter' turned out with Vanessa singing on it. She brought a haunting yet powerful quality to the song that we think sounds great. The video was a blast to make as well. She rounded out the story perfectly and I finally got to trash a room. This is one of my favourite videos of ours so far. It looks amazing."The Music.com.au:[http://www.themusic.com.au/imm_display.php?s=christie&id=1176&d=2009-04-28 Amorosi records with Hoobastank]
