Michael Johns covered “Hold Me” a tune originally written by David Foster, and recorded by Japanese recording artist, Seiko Matsuda. It was a big hit in Japan. The song will be included in the Japanese version of Michael’s album, Hold Back My Heart, that’s set to be released there on 6/23
The song was released in Japan, and is doing well there, climbing to 5 on the Usen Japanese Western charts.
Now, you can hear the entire song, via a newly-released video of Michael performing in the studio. Check it out after the jump.
What do you think? It’s a little too adult contemporary for my tastes, but as always, I love Michael’s growly vocals.
