There are probably fewer things weirder than the singer of a classic rock/hair metal band teaming up with an indie pop songstress, but that's happened thanks to
Emm Gryner and
Def Leppard.
Gryner's duet with Def Leppard singer
Joe Elliott, a remake of "Almighty Love" from her 2006
The Summer Of High Hopes album, will be the lead single from her upcoming as-yet-untitled new album. If you're curious, you can listen to it on Gryner's
MySpace page.
Gryner's currently working on her new album, which will be the follow-up to this year's
Goddess, with producer Greg Wells (Rufus Wainwright, Deftones). It doesn't have a release date set just yet.
Gryner, who starred in this year's
One Week with actor Joshua Jackson (
Dawson's Creek,
The Skulls), is touring Ontario, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick this month and the next, and you can see her here:
