I ‘ear-magined’ a Reelworld cut I had done being sung by the same vocal group that worked on resings for ‘The Breeze’ in the UK, it was a Breeze used cut, I thought it would be sung the same, but when it was delivered it wasn’t a harmony group, it was a solo female vocal stacked and this altered the feel of the cut, but who was I to argue so I accepted the work, it was after all only one cut I’d ordered.

IMHO, you as the client have every right to argue with the Jingle supplier if the end result is that far away from what you initially ordered and expected, as you described it.
Reelworld (US) send the Pro Tools sessions around to the singers so that every talent can add his/her portion to the vocal arrangement, add harmonies etc. This is how they work most of the time. I see no reason why they have done it completely different in your case. Saving costs??

But it got me thinking that maybe cuts ordered via Reelworld Europe, especially single cut orders might be sung by a Euro vocalist, and not a US vocal group at all. Whereas with the budget The Breeze had it would warrant cuts being sung by the US vocal group.

This could be the reason but they should have communicated this with you, no matter if 1 cut was ordered or 10.

That package was popular in the US. Now,
as to vocal groups, I can’t comment on that.
I will say when I was in Nashville in 2018, 92.9 had the same weather jingle, but the vocal was different, more high.
After hearing some many of these weather jingles, this was a little shocking to me-never heard it sung like that before.

I just checked the Reelworld site.
That 92.9 Nashville soloist version of the weather jingle is the only one like that that I’ve heard on the air.
