There's nothing better than watching an inspirational music video to an equally-inspiring track.
Jess Glynne – another gem of a voice from across the pond – proves herself as a vocal powerhouse in this sincere, uplifting number. Having come to prominence after being featured in Clean Bandit's 'Rather Be' and Route 94's 'My Love', the songstress continues to capture hearts with her assuring tone and convincing lyrics. There is just something about British singers isn't there? How are they able to develop such distinct voices? Is it because of something in the water? Voices like those of Jessie J, Ella Eyre and Duffy are so unique to the UK.
The motivational new single off her debut album I Cry When I Laugh, a young boy is forced to move when a loved one passes away. But instead of sitting around moping or hanging with the wrong crowd, the boy takes up a new passion to pay respect to the departed and excels in it, earning new respect and love.
Truly a heart-stringer.
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars.
