Tough Love and S Man feat Boy George 'Hold On' (Get Twisted)
House royalty Roger Sanchez, 80s pop legend Boy George and relative newbies Tough Love come together for this unlikely collaboration. We’re not quite sure how this all actually came together, but we are picturing the three of them all meeting in an airport departure lounge. Regardless, Sanchez is due another club smash and this reminds us how good Boy George’s unmistakeable voice is (and he, too, is a figure who’s surely overdue a revival). With the right radio backing, this has all the right ingredients to be a chart-bothering release thanks to the way George’s sincere vocal is underpinned by a solid bass tone.
