Watch Michelle Branch & New Radicals’ ‘The Game of Love’ Video, As Gregg Alexander Also Dives Into His Kurt Cobain-Namechecking New Song: Exclusive
"The Game of Love" is the first video featuring New Radicals in 28 years.
In 2002, Santana and Michelle Branch collaborated on the hit song "The Game of Love," which reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned a Grammy for best pop collaboration with vocals. Nearly 25 years later, Branch reunited with New Radicals founder Gregg Alexander for a duet version of the song. The new rendition debuted on Billboard's Adult Pop Airplay chart at No. 33 for the week ending August 8.
The duo also released a music video for the song, marking the first New Radicals appearance in 28 years. This follows a recent wave of activity for both New Radicals and Alexander, who reformatted and released new music together. Alexander expressed his love for working with Branch, noting their shared history and connection. The video, directed by Stephen Kinigopoulos and Alexa Stone, depicts a scene inspired by a real event Alexander witnessed.
It features a diverse cast and Alexander's iconic bucket hat, which he also wore on the cover of the New Radicals' 1998 album. The video ends with a tribute to Clive Davis, the legendary label executive who passed away on June 22.
