Brandi Carlile Premieres New Music Video for “Party Of One” featuring Sam Smith
American singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile recruited British singer-songwriter Sam Smith.
The couple premiered a new music video for “Party Of One” directed by Tom Kirk.
The original version of the song is included on her sixth studio album "By the Way, I Forgive You", which was released back in February. It was written by Tim Hanseroth, Phil Hanseroth and Brandi Carlile. The album is her first LP in three years since "The Firewatcher's Daughter".
This time, the pair re-recorded the song at Capitol Studios in Los Angeles, produced by Dave Cobb. A portion of the profits from the song will be donated to Children In Conflict via Brandi’s Looking Out Foundation as part of its campaign to raise $1 million for children impacted by war.
“This is a song about deep and enduring compassion,” Brandi Carlile said in a statement. “It’s about trying to navigate domesticity, love and particularly marriage whilst being willed to fail by those that would revoke that right if they could.”
“I am so excited for everyone to have this song in their ears and hearts,” Sam Smith added. “Working with Brandi Carlile is truly one of the highlights of my career. Her voice and songwriting get me through the dark days.”- source : Idolator
