Following the announcement of his most welcome return, James Blunt is back in the water for his video for new single ‘Cold’, taken from his eagerly anticipated sixth studio album ‘Once Upon A Mind’ – out October 25th on Atlantic Records.
Shot on the Isle Of Skye, and directed by Calum Macdiarmid, the video serves up déjà vu, mirroring the iconic music video for his debut classic global hit single ‘You’re Beautiful’.
‘Cold’ encapsules an older, wiser, James Blunt. Fifteen years on from iconically diving into the water, he’s washed ashore in the same clothes, scaling cliffs and producing moments of jaw dropping tension and drama with no stunt doubles involved. Fans will be able to connect the dots as he pays further homage to ‘You’re Beautiful’, picking up original items from the video during his ascent, where he’s eventually airlifted to safety.
Speaking of the video, James sums it up simply;
“Once upon a time, I threw myself off a big cliff. Fourteen years later, and here’s the next chapter!”
James will also head out on a major UK and European tour including a must see show at London’s Royal Albert Hall on April 7th. James plays the following UK shows.
