X Ambassadors have released the title track of their upcoming album, 'Joyful'.
The follow up to 2015's 'VHS' is set for release this spring on KIDinaKORNER /Interscope Records, although an exact release date is still to be confirmed. Speaking about the track, vocalist Sam Harris said:
"I wrote this song as a reminder to myself and to try and learn how to forgive someone. Heartbreak never fails to pull the rug out from under your feet. The pain is always unrecognisable, no matter what shape or form it takes. But heartbreak can be strangely comforting, and can bring a certain clarity to things. You start to recognise what you can and can’t control - to forgive yourself a little, and to take in the beauty of the world around you.
"Joyful was one of the first songs we wrote for the new album. We'd just gotten off two years of touring – my body was fragile, my mind was a mess, and my heart had just been broken by someone I cared about very much. So I got lost in my work, looking for something to help ground me."
The track's accompanying video was shot at the Los Angeles Theater by Tess Harrison and picks up where the video for their last single, Ahead of Myself, left off.
The New York-based band will kick off a European tour on March 19 at Electric Brixton in London.
