A Singaporean
pop star has released a heartbreaking music video for his cover of a Lady Gaga
hit.
Duane Ho, 23,
who shot to fame through Singapore Idol in 2009 recently covered Lady
Gaga’s Million
Reasons.
Now he has
produced a provocative music video with aspiring filmmaker Kieran Cheang to go
with his version of the song.
It tells
the story of a guy with an abusive boyfriend.
The clip
aims to raise awareness about rape in same-sex relationships.
‘The LGBT scene
in Singapore is something that still isn’t widely or openly portrayed in media
and from a personal standpoint, just because we don’t see or hear these stories
doesn’t mean they cease to exist,’ Ho told Dear Straight People.
‘I hope for a
conversation to begin between people and within oneself,
‘To discover
and acknowledge why we react the way we do and possibly let go of past hurt in
order to truly be set free.’
