Nadine Shah has unveiled the decidedly gritty video for her new EP’s title track ‘Dreary Town’. The smoky toned chanteuse finds the bleak and lovelorn nuances of the song mirrored in this equally foreboding short.
Shah – who hails from the pretty village of Whitburn on the North East coast – stars alongside her real life friends and actor Gareth Murphy in this tale of spousal discord accompanied by her own trembling vocal and pummelling piano chords. A truly intense piece of filmmaking to accompany this marvellously elegant young songwriter’s latest brooding cut.
Dreary Town is out on 15 April via Apollo Records.
