When it comes to Queen, few can boast rising to the challenge of doing justice to hits by the legendary ‘Under Pressure’ performers.  ‘Pressure’ singer Ari Lennox is now among that few.

The other artists secured to deliver renditions of the iconic number are Turkish electro-pop producer Ekin Beril, Latin Urban Pop powerhouse Mariah Angeliq, Nigerian singer-songwriter and producer Tems, Canadian-Indian rapper and producer Tesher, British singer-songwriter Griff, and K-Pop girl band TRI.BE.
