GIOIA BRUNO debuting new Obama single

Here's the latest on dance-pop diva Gioia Bruno's work to throw her hat into the political ring; she's getting a bit of media coverage for "Change the World," her free single promoting Senator Barack Obama for prez. It even samples Obama's voice in there from a speech.

You can read an article on MSNBC about the slew of songs out there, and listen to Gioia's "Change the World" here.

Gioia also appeared on CBS to promote the song. Check out the video snippet here.

And here's the video Gioia has posted on her YouTube channel:



Yikes.

I'm all for celebs sharing their political opinions, but the whole Obama thing has gone to another level. It's freakin' scary, man! The presidency - hell, the future of our country - is bigger than any one person, and the level of Christ-like hero worship people are throwing at this dude... You know, there have been other countries and eras where people have started chanting their leaders' name like this. And uh, last I checked... they tended not to work out so well.

Whatevs. Figured I'd share.

GIOIA BRUNO recording pro-Obama single

Hey lovelies!!

Oh, you know I try to steer clear of politics here, but sometimes there's just no avoiding it ;)

Check out our NOVEMBER '07 DIVA OF THE MONTH, Gioia Bruno, hitting the recording studio to work on a track for the trendiest of American Idols... oops, I mean Presidential candidates... Barack Obama!



The new dance-pop/hip-hop single, titled "Yes We Can" is the brainchild of Andy Fraser of the British rock group Free.

Apparently the original title, "Yes We Can... Well, I think we can... I'm kind of new at this... Hillary, What Do I Do?!?" was taken.

Where were these divas when there was a female candidate out there... you know, someone who was both groundbreaking and qualified?

See, this is why I don't go political. Whatever, it's my blog and I'll bitch if I want to! ;)

Peace, love and fuck-you-DNC ;),
