Ahead of the beginning of Pride month, record label and artist collective Revival has released “Freedom” featuring vocalist and songwriter Peyton and the Geo Gospel Choir. The single is a cover of George Michael’s beloved “Freedom!” single off his 1990 album Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1. The song stood as Michael’s anthem of liberation and self-expression, clapping back at the music industry’s constraints and celebrating personal and creative autonomy. Through soaring vocals and modernized production, the collective’s powerful cover conveys the same urgency and timeless declaration of independence as the original track. “From the beginning of my career until today, the artist who I’ve looked to most for inspiration both as a vocalist and a songwriter, has been George Michael,” said Peyton in a press statement. “So to be a part of this project, which pays tribute to one of the greatest pop anthems of our time, at a moment in modern history when the message of ‘Freedom’ feels more poignant than ever, is an honor and a responsibility that I’m deeply grateful for and take very seriously.” Love the gospel aspect. https://youtu.be/ATclO8IWru4?si=VXXCXE46fn0LusJI
