Mudvayne and HELLYEAH frontman Chad Gray just released a heavy cover of Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful," and the music video, directed by Alex Bemis, puts him in a room packed with fans holding "We Are Beautiful" signs.
Gray told Revolver the song's message of self-acceptance hit him the first time he heard it: "I have struggled my entire life with all of those things so when I heard it years ago, it spoke to me." He added that getting sober and working on himself has only deepened that connection.
He made it his own, too. "I changed the bridge, got the scream, big drums, and big guitars in there," he said, joking that "no one had me covering a pop song in 2026 on their bingo card."
His hope for it: "Maybe some of the metal family can hear it and find their own self-love because we are beautiful no matter what they say."
