Earlier this week, we were given a glimpse of Melanie Amaro’s upcoming Pepsi commercial, which will feature an appearance by the legendary Elton John. Now, the songbird’s cover of Otis Redding’s ‘Respect’, which she sang specifically for the campaign, has been released.
There has not been any confirmation about whether Amaro’s ‘Respect’ will appear on her debut album. Thus far, her entire team has been very reserved regarding the project but they have ensured that it would be entirely different from anything that she did while performing on ‘The X Factor (US)’.
Listen to Amaro’s ‘Respect’ below:
With the exception of a few rough moments, Amaro did an amazing job at modernising ‘Respect’. In fact, she basically’s gave Aretha Franklin’s sassy version of the tune the Mariah Carey remix treatment.
I am quite eager to here what Amaro will do with her debut album. Hopefully, it won’t only entail a collection of Dance/Pop tracks, though, because Simon Cowell already tried that model with Leona Lewis’ ‘Glassheart’ and we all know what happened with that ill-fated project; she collided a flop.
