UK singer Adam French has released his emotional new single “Wanna Be Here” and accompanying video from his upcoming full-length album due out next year. “Wanna Be Here” is a softly incendiary new offering that blends powerful, emotive lyrics with the kind of natural musicianship that cements the young artist’s smoldering entrance into the scene.
The video for “Wanna Be Here” follows three lovers through their complicated story, highlighting that happiness isn’t a just a mathematical equation. Director Savvas Stavrou selected some of the brightest emerging dancers in the UK to play the actors’ roles – Tylor Deyn (i-D, Dazed) and Riley Wolf (Hofesh Schecter Company), who created a gorgeous visual blending real-world emotion and grit with a strikingly beautiful aesthetic.
Of the track, Adam French said, “‘Wanna be here’ is a song about the difference between happiness and comfort. As people we often mistake a comfortable habitat for love and settle for the now. It’s important to share life with somebody that makes you happy and brings out the best in you… and it’s never too late to cut loose from those who don’t.”
