Gordon Voidwell teamed up with NYC's Kids Table production crew for his new track "XO Boyfriend" to create a music video that draws from Whitney Houston's "How Will I Know" video. The styling, choreography, set design, and photography all take cues from Whitney's mid-80's classic. The homage was filmed in a hot Brooklyn warehouse in the summer of 2011, but GV had been keeping it under wraps until the right moment, which unfortunately arose this week with the untimely passing of the legendary singer.
