'Hercules' Male Muses Gospel Cover Has Us Swooning - Inside the Magic

With over 4 million views and climbing, this trending, gender-bending, give-it-your-all depiction of Hercules’s Muses is everything we need. Five male muses light up the screen with rainbow hues and dulcet tones. Cue up this quintet masterpiece for a gently rearranged rendition of all of the Muses’ choruses in one perfect medley by Michael Korte.

Male Muses

It took a small army to produce this incredible 7 and a half minute music video, but it was worth the effort. Creator Michael Korte gathered “the 5 most talented, fabulous & beautiful boys” he knew to remake the muses in incredible style. Evoking the original animated classic, Hercules, Korte clad his Muses in variations of all white with silver hardware. Each vocal artist retains his personal style while meshing with the group.

The five essential Muses are vocalized and portrayed by LaVance Colley (@lavancecolley), Tre ‘Rebel’ Edwards (@iiamrebel), Cameron Wright (@cameronwrightofficial), Keenan D. Washington (@keenandwashington), and  James Wright Chanel (@jameswrightchanel).  Also on the Muse production team are vocal arranger Bryson Camper,  choreographer Keenan D. Washington (also a Muse!) cinematographer Baxter Stapleton and sound editor Bryson Camper.

Vocalists Rell and Deo start to slowly sway in a reaction video, but as the male muses reach the phrase about the Underworld and Hades, they can’t contain themselves! Hopping joy takes over and it sure brings a smile to our faces!  Did it mimic your reaction to the music video?
