Perez Hilton posted the video for Vanesssa Carlton‘s new single, “Carousel,” which was released digitally on May 3rd. The video was also released on Carlton’s official VEVO page, however it’s not available to U.S. viewers at this time. Not sure if the single is being promoted elsewhere at the moment, but hopefully we’ll get a nicer quality version of the video to post shortly. In the meantime…this will have to do.
The video is a stunning visual representation of the song, Carlton’s first single off her upcoming fourth album, Rabbits On The Run. Carlton is at one with nature in the video, at times channeling “Stands With A Fist” from Dances With Wolves. Looking radiant as ever, Carlton flits around a field, a bonfire and some other beautiful scenery. So nice to have Vanessa Carlton back. Rabbits On The Run was produced by Steve Osborne and features collaborations with Ari Ingber (The Upwelling) and drummer Patrick Hallahan (My Morning Jacket) as well as the Capital Children’s Choir, which I believe can be heard in first single, “Carousel.” The album is due out on Razor & Tie June 21st. Download “Carousel” on iTunes HERE and check out the video, courtesy of Perez Hilton down below. I’ve updated the video with the YouTube/VEVO version which has now been made available. Yay!
