Out singer-songwriter Steve Grand on
Monday released a sexy video for a cover of Mariah Carey's All I Want
For Christmas Is You.
The 25-year-old Grand burst on the
scene in 2013 with his self-produced All-American Boy, which tells
the story of a man's unrequited love for another man. The video immediately
went viral on YouTube.
Grand told Billboard that his new project
came together in less than four days.
“I feel really good about it,” he said,
“and hopefully it will spread a lot of warm, holiday cheer.”
“On Thursday, I was in my basement
jamming and I started playing [All I Want For Christmas Is You] and I
was like, 'You know what, I should do a Christmas song.' And then … I called up
Alana [Mulford, Grand's manager] and my video editor and director [John Lavin],
and I was just like, 'We gotta do this.'”
Grand said that his recording was
inspired by Michael Buble's 2011 cover.
“It was a big challenge,” Grand said of
recording the song and creating the video in a couple of days. “But it was also
really, really fun.”
Grand stars opposite actor Trevor
LaPaglia in the video. Grand's cover of All I Want For Christmas Is You can
be purchased at Bandcamp.
