READ TIME: 1 MIN.
VIZIN, a Native American drag queen, debuted her new single, "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" on the Billboard Dance Club Songs Chart at #48 ahead of Taylor Swift's "... Ready For It?" single that debuted on the chart at #49. VIZIN uniquely charted without having first appeared on "RuPaul's Drag Race."
"You Make Me Feel (Mighty Feel)" is a reimagined version of the original disco anthem by Sylvester. VIZIN's version is produced by Chris Rosa (RuPaul) and remixed by world-renowned DJ Hector Fonseca (Over 20 #1 Billboard remixes including Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna, Sia) with additional remixes by John Dish, Taito Tikaro, Eduardo Lujan, Luis Vazquez and Chris Rosa.
The video, directed by JoseOmar (Justin Bieber) and Leo Madrid, includes cameos from Manila Luzon and Mariah Balenciaga ("RuPaul's Drag Race", Season 3, Vh1), Cassandra Cass ("Strut", Oxygen) and model Brandon Cole Bailey.
"You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" is the follow-up single to VIZIN's earlier 2017 single for "I Was Born This Way", a reimagined version of the 1975 song originally written by Chris Spierer for Motown artists Valentino and Carl Bean.
