Albert Hammond Jr has premiered the video for 'St Justice' from his new solo EP, AHJ. Watch the clip below.
The video was filmed at Hammond’s New York City apartment and co-stars Albert and model Nina de Raadt. It's pretty kinky and NSFW.
The video’s French born, New York based director, Laurent Briet (Beyoncé, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Strokes), said: “We wanted to work very differently on this video and do it without a crew. It was challenging, but incredibly freeing.”

Speaking to Gigwise about the inspiration behind his new EP, Hammond said that 'hearing other people's songs becomes like a competition' - and that he had recently found inspiration in the likes of Arctic Monkeys and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, as well as his Strokes bandmates.
"It can just be a new random song that you hear, by The Sweet or whoever," he said. "You can feel the competition within your own band as well - especially with a great songwriter like Julian. The other guys too, they're full of great idea."
He continued: "Arctic Monkeys, Yeah Yeah Yeahs - these are all bands that keep coming out with things that make me go 'shit - that's exciting'. You feel it when you're doing it yourself - when you finish a song you say 'shit, I'm glad we did that'."
