Michelle Branch Revives ‘The Game Of Love’ with Gregg Alexander

In an exciting twist for fans of early 2000s rock, Michelle Branch has re-recorded her hit collaboration with Carlos Santana, “The Game Of Love,” featuring its original vocalist, Gregg Alexander of New Radicals fame. This new version marks a significant moment as Branch prepares to release her upcoming EP, Everywhere And Back Again, set to drop on November 6.

Originally released in 2002, “The Game Of Love” became a Grammy-winning hit, thanks to Branch’s unforgettable vocals and Alexander’s songwriting prowess. This time around, the two artists share the spotlight, with Alexander also taking on production duties. Branch expressed her excitement, stating, “Being able to sing this together with him is really a full circle moment and captures the original spirit of the demo.”

Gregg Alexander echoed her sentiments, reminiscing about their journey and the legacy of the song. He remarked, “Our sometime mentor Clive Davis brought icons Tina Turner and Macy Gray to the studio to ‘try out’ ‘The Game Of Love’ in 2001. Yet Clive envisioned a brand new voice delivering my idealistically innocent lyric and melody.”

This fresh take on a classic is sure to resonate with both new listeners and long-time fans. Keep an ear out for the first single from the EP, which promises to bring back the nostalgic vibes of the early 2000s!
