I'm kinda excited for this, should be fun! I've never heard of the any of the bands/ musicians though. I do kinda wish they would have just released a soundtrack to the original show, or at least got the original singers to do the updated songs.
The Link to the announcement is below, here is the article:
Ahead of the October release of the Jem and the Holograms film based on the 80’s cult classic, Hasbro Studios and Sony Music/Legacy Recordings have teamed up to release a tribute album featuring new renditions of the classic Jem cuts.
Truly Outrageous: A Tribute to Starlight Records will be released this Friday (Aug. 7), Billboard can exclusively confirm. The album will feature 12 newly recorded takes on songs like “Glitter & Gold,” “Beat This” and “Truly Outrageous,” from artists like Ben Thornewill, Chrissie Poland and LACES.
