London-based singer-songwriter Helen Boulding has unveiled the brand new music video for her track ‘Jerusalem’ - you can check it out at the bottom of the page now.
On the 29th October acclaimed Sheffield-born singer-songwriter Helen Boulding returns with her stunning new single, ‘Jerusalem.’ Taken from her recent LP ‘Calling All Angels’ and referencing the title in its chorus, ‘Jerusalem’ is a hook-filled album highlight, whose majestic tempo belies its subject matter. ‘Some people can be so grumpy, for no real reason,’ says Helen. ‘Open your eyes and look at what we have. Or at least that’s what I say…’
‘Jerusalem’ also features in recent indie flick ‘Comes a Bright Day,’ the debut feature from director Simon Aboud, featuring Craig Roberts (Submarine) and Timothy Spall (Secrets & Lies).. It’s just the latest in a long line of impressive soundtrack contributions from Helen, which includes ‘One Last Look Down’ used in the award-winning ‘Some Things That Stay’, and the title song for ‘Ashes & Sand’, written with composer Michael Price.
The album ‘Calling All Angels’ is co-written with and produced by Pete Glenister (Alison Moyet, Kirsty MacColl) taking her trademark Joni Mitchell-influence vocal and throwing in influences like Bat For Lashes, Sneaker Pimps, Dubstar and the Cardigans to create a more synth-tinged sound. ‘Every song would stand up on piano and guitar,’ says Helen. ‘The difference between this and [the Youth-produced] first album is that here the production in some ways juxtaposes the classic songs, & somehow makes them particularly emotional & exciting.’
