Imelda May premieres Black Tears video, shot live
on
location at historic Maida Vale studios
On Tuesday Feb 7, 2017 Imelda May premiered her live video performance of new single ‘Black
Tears’ via UK tastemaker music publication The Four Oh Five.
The atmospheric black and white video shot on
location in the iconic Maida Vale Studios
showcases Imelda at her vocal best on the personal and heart-wrenching ballad.
Black Tears is the second single from her forthcoming fifth studio record,
entitled ‘LIFE. LOVE. FLESH. BLOOD’,
to be released on Decca Records on 7th April.
Chatting exclusive to the Four Oh Five Imelda said
of the video:
"I was asked to perform an intimate showcase
of some of my new material for record company, publishers, media and a few
friends. They knew my sound had changed but hadn't really heard anything. I
wanted it to be a relaxed evening and not 'showy' in any way. Almost like
inviting them to a rehearsal with my now larger band. I've recorded in Maida
Vale a few times and always loved the atmosphere, the history in the walls and
the almost industrial look of it. A working studio. I asked for simple
lighting, good sound and not much else. I was a little nervous with the
thoughts of it but as soon as myself and the band started I was immersed in the
music and reliving every moment that I wrote about. I was very proud to have my
friend and producer of my album TBone Burnett come to introduce me but most
importantly give his moral support and occasional whoops and hollers from the
audience. Love him! It was a very liberating and special night for me. This is
my new song and one of the moments recorded live from that night. This is
'Black Tears.' "

"She has poured her heart and soul into her
new album" - Evening Standard
“I love the girl she used to be but I think I love
even more the woman she’s become. Still mischievous and playful, still a siren,
but there’s an ache in her voice now that has me with a glass at my ear to the
wall of her world where trouble has entered the room. There’s an erotic power
here that’s not just feminine power. She makes truth telling an invitation to
intimacy.” - Bono
“I’ve never met anyone quite like Imelda May. She
is full of life…I was inspired by her honesty and her generosity, and I
continue to be intrigued.” - T Bone
