The Heroic Enthusiasts
ECR Music Group’s November 2023 deluxe-edition rerelease of the acclaimed final album of Lesley Gore (fully restored, remixed, and remastered by the album’s original producer and ECR founder, Blake Morgan), has fueled an extraordinary resurgence for Gore around the world. In addition to her classic, “You Don’t Own Me,” being paired with Jeremy Allen White in Clavin Klein’s new global advertising campaign, she also just made history by hitting #1 on Billboard’s TikTok chart––her first Billboard #1 since 1963. Now, ECR label-cousins and accomplished electronic-music duo The Heroic Enthusiasts have created two powerful remixes of Gore’s 2005 version of “You Don’t Own Me,” arriving February 16th. “We’re honored to have been selected to remix Lesley Gore's iconic hit ‘You Don’t Own Me,’” says James Tabbi, singer/producer of The Heroic Enthusiasts. “Being entrusted to work on such a prominent, historical song originally produced by the legendary Quincy Jones made us very sensitive about how we should approach the project. We thought it would be amazing to create two versions: a banger anthem for today's diverse and inclusive generation, and a second track that hints at a Bond theme song with its elegant sophistication led by Lesley’s powerful voice.” Guitarist/producer Thomas Ferrara adds, “The message we wanted to come through loud and clear in both versions is, ‘We are young, we are free, and You Don't Own Me.’”
