The new rendition of the song, which is more subdued than the original, soundtracks a video about a Guatemalan woman named Nilda, an immigrant feeling violence who is forced to wait for asylum in the U.S.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The style of Blanco\u2019s latest clip is very similar to that of \u201cEastside,\u201d his breakout hit as a solo artist: A string of simple shots with basic explanatory captions. Except this time, the captions tell the story of Nilda, who fled Guatemala with her son Keyden after enduring sexual assault, beatings and threats from violent gangs. The pair made the grueling trek to the U.S. but were arrested and subsequently separated when they attempted to cross the border. They were eventually reunited, but they still don\u2019t know if they will be allowed to stay in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Blanco teamed up with Brooklyn Defenders, Raices (an immigration legal services provider in Texas) and the ACLU on the While They Wait campaign, which aims to raise money and garner signatures to help immigrants in the same situation as Nilda. More than 300,000 immigrants are waiting to be granted asylum.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Blanco explained his initiative in a post on Instagram. \u201cMost of us get to do a few simple things everyday \u2026 wake up in our bed \u2026 know where our family is \u2026 know that it\u2019s possible to call them, see them, or even touch them \u2026 not have to wear an anklet around their foot for 2 years as they await asylum \u2026 and not b petrified to b sent back to a country where u know ur life is in constant dange\u201d he wrote. \u201cNilda and Keyden don\u2019t have those luxuries \u2026 they are human beings\u2026 they deserve a good life\u2026 just like u and I.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/miguel-benny-blanco-i-found-you-video-775233\/\" target=\"_blank\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Benny Blanco and Calvin Harris released a new version of their house-pop single \u201cI Found You\u201d with vocals from Miguel on Friday.
