SUPERFRUIT, made up of Pentatonix members Scott Hoying and Mitch Grassi, have teamed up with singers Mary Lambert, Brian Justin Crum and Mario Jose to cover Katy Perry’s Rio Olympics anthem, ‘Rise’.

According to the SUPERFRUIT YouTube page, the group wanted to cover the song to celebrate the LGBTQ community,

” As music artists we are given an incredible platform with which to reach the world. One of the most inspiring and rewarding aspects of our job is the ability to make a difference in people’s lives. In keeping with the spirit of why we pursued our dreams as music artists, and the positive impact we aspired to have on others, we decided to make this video with some of our closest friends in celebration of the LGBTQ+ community and all of our fans who love unconditionally and see no barriers. For anyone who has ever felt pride in who they are, and for anyone who has ever doubted the power of your own uniqueness, this video is for you. It warms our hearts to finally be able to share this with you!!”

You may remember a few years back, Mary Lambert teamed up with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis on another LGBTQ anthem, ‘Same Love’.
