Megan Hilty, who plays the China Princess in the Oz movie for which Tift has written songs, gives Tift a big plug for her song, "Even Then":   "the lyrics are what really makes the song beautiful ... they're written by Tift Merritt," then they flash a shot of the cover of "Home is Loud."

Though previous articles have tended to list Tift among a group of songwriters working on this project, she gets top billing in this article:

The screenplay was written by Barry Glasser & Adam Balsam, based on Roger S. Baum's novel, with original songs written by Tift Merritt.

Comic book lovers might hear some of Tift's work this weekend, according to Billboard:

Next, year, Sony will release the soundtrack to the 3D animated musical "Dorothy of Oz," but the film's songs will be unveiled this Saturday (July 23) at Comic-Con in San Diego. The film, which features "Glee" star Lea Michele in the title role, is penciled in for an early spring release.

Bryan Adams has written several original songs for the film with his co-writer Jim Vallance, as has Tift Merritt. Mike Himelstein is providing lyrics, with additional songs and lyrics from Jim Dooley. Composer, orchestrator and arranger Deborah Lurie ("Prom," "Justine Bieber: Never Say Never") and engineer/producer Gustavo Borner are also part of the creative team.

Any more news from Comicon on any Tift contributions to the movie?
