Miranda Kerr, former Angel for Victoria’s Secret and one of the most in demand models of the day, is trying her hand at music, this time officially. Her duet with Aussie stage actor Bobby Fox has been released and, as usual, you will find it embedded below.

Announced in November, when they also shot a video for it, the duet hasn’t been released until just now. The music video is yet to come out.

“You’re the Boss” was actually made famous by Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret in the film “Viva Las Vegas” so comparisons between this version and the one with Kerr are bound to emerge. You will probably see for yourself once you give the latter a listen that they won’t be favorable to the stunning Aussie.

She’s not particularly bad or anything (in fact, she’s better than what you hear on many releases that pass for music these days) but she’s uncertain and it shows. She’s also a bit too whispery for my taste, to the point where I felt that she was merely whispering to hide the fact that she can’t sing.

Overall though, particularly if you don’t know the Elvis version of the track, this is a decent, entertaining release. “You’re the Boss” is included on Fox’s album “The Fantastic Mr. Fox,” out now.
