New Listen: Chad Harvey video & single “Get A Leg Up”

The classic John Mellencamp song “Get A Leg Up” has been reimagined in a single following Chad Harvey’s successful EP “Run From The Sound” released earlier this year. Harvey’s version of the song is arranged as a duet with soul singer Alaina Renae. “I wanted to capture the cool vibe that we had in the studio with Alaina Renea, myself and producer Marc Johnson among others, which I believe we did,” says Chad Harvey about his new music. “I also wanted to capture the chemistry between Alaina and I.”

Harvey’s version of “Get A Leg Up” is a more soulful one thanks to the awesome interaction between Harvey and Renae who both lend their sincere voices to the bold and raw rock that pulls us back to a time when rock and roll always had grit.  For those of us that are nostalgic but happy to always consume new music, this song will pull you back into a time when your younger self would obsess over songs like this because they were downright cool. 

The original John Mellencamp song was released in 1991 on the album, “Whenever We Wanted”. This was an album that came out when Harvey was a teenager and like many of the music of our youth, it tends to leave a lasting impression on us. “The record came out when I was a teenager and I loved it!” Harvey decided on a different take on the classic son, “I wanted to do something to make it different,” notes Harvey. “I thought to myself that this is a conversation between a girl and a guy. It was a fun project that came together very quickly, over a couple of weeks.”
