'The Voice' winner Javier Colon is giving fans an early holiday gift with the premiere of his debut music video for "As Long As We Got Love," the debut single off of the newly released third studio album,"Come Through for You." The reality competition star teamed up with Natasha Bedingfield for the video duet, and now you can watch the super-sweet fruits of their collaborative labor!The soft-focus production finds 33-year-old R&B/Pop singer hooking up with Bedingfield. Colon penned the track with former Evanescence member David Hodges, who also co-wrote his winner's song on The Voice, "Stitch By Stitch." The song describes the journey that love can take after two people meet. Bedingfield told Artist Direct what spoke to her about the song: "It's quite a realistic and relatable love story, and that's what spoke to me about the song. When you know someone for a while so well, it's easy to take them for granted. Life can be hard at times and full of responsibilities, but having love in the midst of all of that is what helps us get through it all, having each other helps us know what life's about."
Bedingfield and Colon recorded their vocals separately though they did meet up later for the video. She told Artist Direct: "Due to our schedules and where we both live, it wasn't possible to be in the studio at the same time and in the same place! We had met before this, but we met again on the set for filming the video. It's always fun being around Javier and how he just bursts into song! We sang his songs, my songs and even some Disney [Laughs]."
Colon strums his guitar while belting out the uplifting lyrics and harmonizing with the lovely Bedingfield. "I've been a fan of hers for a long time, to have her on the song is an amazing feat to be able to get her on there. She's a co-writer on the song, too," Colon told AOL Music of his experience working with Bedingfield. The video follows a handsome young couple as they start a family together and Colonn and Bedingfield narrate the love story.
