The Tony-winning Dreamgirls star, who was recently thrust into the national spotlight by her acceptance and subsequent refusal to sing at an inaugural event for President Donald Trump, can be heard on a single of “Hold On,” which she previously recorded for the Lysistrata Jones cast recording. The song from the 2011 Broadway musical was penned by Lewis Flynn.
The Broadway Records single, according to press notes, follows Holliday's “struggle with the decision [whether to perform for President Trump, which] articulated her desire to be a patriotic voice of hope in these troubling times while not condoning the normalization of Trump’s views and behavior. We all know the outcome and applaud her bravery.”
