Just this past week, Scottish singer/songwriter Amy Macdonald released the video for her new single, “Slow It Down,” taken from her upcoming third album, Life In A Beautiful Light, due June 11th (iTunes UK) via Melodramatic/Mercury Records. Macdonald stars in the Pip-directed video, standing alongside a desert cliff with a beautiful mountain vista as her backdrop, skillfully strumming her guitar. The video is interspersed with clips of a handsome dark haired guy, played by at three different actors, (each representing said GUY at different ages) as he runs, rides a horse, swims and drives in search of, seemingly, a lost love. It’s really quite beautiful.
“Slow It Down” was written by Macdonald and produced by Pete Wilkinson (Paulo Nutini), who also served as producer on the rest of the album. Life In A Beautiful Light was mixed by Bob Clearmountain (Bryan Adams, Robbie Williams) and serves as the follow up to Macdonald’s 2010 album, A Curious Thing. The single, released in Germany and Belgium last month, is due out in the UK on June 11th (iTunes UK), at the same time as the album.
