David Archuleta is letting Freedom ring.
The 34-year-old half-Honduran & part-Spanish American singer and American Idol runner-up released a cover of George Michael’s hit single “Freedom! ’90.”
It’s been 35 years since Michael released the career-defining anthem — and now, Archuleta would like to take a moment to celebrate its legacy.
With his interpretation of the track, Archuleta keeps the formula simple — not quite recreating the song note for note, but sticking as closely as possible to Michael’s version as possible.
Backed up by a full chorus and placing his larger-than-life voice front and center, Archuleta does a service to Michael’s legacy with this moving cover.
