Ben Folds has shared a new single called Exhausting Lover.
The poppy, alt-rock track serves as the latest preview of the singer-songwriter's upcoming album, 'What Matters Most', which is due out on June 2. It comes with a musical theatre-inspired video directed by actor and comedian Derek Waters, who said:
"I always have and always will love Ben Folds. But now I have a deeper appreciation for him knowing we shared similar experiences in a motel 6 with a hot wheels track and dancers dressed as animals."
Folds added: "This was my first foray into musical theatre, and Derek’s, too. We both vow to actually go see a musical now."
The follow-up to 2015's 'So There' will also feature the previously unveiled lead single, Winslow Gardens.
Folds is currently in the middle of a lengthy North American tour, with UK and European dates scheduled for the autumn.
