En Vogue hit given an anti-homophobia twist
EN Vogue lead singer Maxine Jones has paired up with Australian singer Greg Gould to release a new pro-LGBTI and anti-bigotry music video.
The video for their new duet version of the En Vogue hit Don’t Let Go explores some of the real-life challenges facing the LGBTI community.
The clip is a follow up to Gould’s original solo recording, which has been viewed more than 14 million times.
Gould recorded a version of the song in February and was later put in touch with Jones to record the duet.
“[Songwriter Ivan Matias] calls me and says to me how much he liked the clip, loved the way I interpreted the song, and that he’d like to get me together with Maxine. I was gobsmacked!” said Gould.
Jones was delighted to re-release the song as a duet.
“Greg’s version is phenomenal,” she said.
“His voice is out of this world and I got goosebumps watching the video. Equality and diversity are so important to me.”
Gould and Jones are touring together, appearing at gay clubs and other venues around Australia in July.
