We had very limited time to turn the shoot and edit around, but wanted to add a layer of grit and grime that would reflect a little of Laurence’s music. No story needed, as his performance says it all - always a pleasure to work with, and a true talent.
A star in the making

He’s supported the likes of Status Quo, Gary Clark Jr, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, James Bay, Van Morrison, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, Joe Bonamassa Jools Holland, Eric Burdon, and many more.
I think everyone loves to rock out. I definitely do. I really wanted to show my love for rock music with this song. The lyrics are about the frustration you can sometimes feel in a difficult relationship and the rock style really helps carry this emotion with a passionate drive and raw energy. The strong, simple guitar riff is backed up by powerful drum pattern that really carries the energy I was looking for. I really enjoyed going for it on the guitar solo on this one. I drew inspiration from the guitar sound on the classic Michael Jackson song Beat It. We had a lot of fun recording this track
