JAMES BLUNT REVEALS THE VIDEO FOR HIS NEW SINGLE ‘LOVE ME BETTER’ WHICH IS AVAILABLE NOW

THE SINGLE IS TAKEN FROM JAMES’ NEW ALBUM ‘THE AFTERLOVE’ WHICH IS RELEASED ON MARCH 24^TH

James Blunt has today revealed the video for his new single ‘Love Me Better’. Available now, the single shows Blunt in a new light, thanks in part to Ryan Tedder’s fresh and modern pop production, and the lyrics combine a heartfelt poignancy along with touches of Blunt’s classic, self-deprecating humour. The video continues upon this theme, but also shows the redemptive power of love and individuality.
