Ghostpoet – Sorry My Love, It’s You Not Me
Ghostpoet – Sorry My Love, It’s You Not Me (2015)
Directed by: Chloe Hayward
On his return from recent European live excursions, Ghostpoet – Obaro Ejimiwe, is pleased to share the new video for ‘Sorry My Love, It’s You Not Me’, an incredible cut from his new LP Shedding Skin.
A reflective narrative sees Ghostpoet weave tales of a one-night stand, articulating the awkwardness, hand in hand with wanting something more meaningful. Cohabiting with cinematic instrumentation and featuring guest vocalist, singer /songwriter Lucy Rose, ‘Sorry My Love’ walks the same emotive, self-questioning axis that permeates his recent album, Shedding Skin to great effect.
Shedding Skin is the manifestation of a new challenge, of fresh thinking, and a brave confident stride into previously uncharted waters. Ten songs that embrace, unite and narrate observations that are designed to sit beside each other through bright peaks and dark shallows.
Unlike his previous albums, Shedding Skin was recorded with a traditional live set up with what has become his touring band; Joe Newman on guitar, bass player, John Calvert and John Blease on drums. The self-produced album also features guest vocals from Nadine Shah, Etta Bond, Melanie De Biasio, Lucy Rose and Maximo Park’s Paul Smith, a collection that sets a new precedent as his very best work yet.
A busy first few months of 2015 culminated recently with an appearance on BBC2’s Later with Jools Holland.
