Will Joseph Cook plays one half of a pair of on-the-run robbers in a new video for ‘Beach (I Wanna Make You Mine)’, the latest single from his forthcoming debut album ‘Sweet Dreamer’, which lands on April 14.
The rising indie-pop star, who has racked up 17 million online streams, has also announced a tour in May to coincide with the album, including his biggest headline show to date at London’s Heaven on May 11.
In the video, shot entirely in a static car in front of a screen and referencing such classic crime films as , True Romance and Natural Born Killers, Cook and his lover rob a store and go on the run, ending up in a police shoot out and driving off a cliff holding hands.
The single is a re-recording of a track that the Tunbridge Wells singer released in 2015, which received 3.5 million views online. It is set to appear on the 13-track album, produced by Hugh Worskett and Bombay Bicycle Club’s Jack Steadman.
Will Joseph Cook is currently on tour supporting Sundara Karma, then plays his own headline tour in May between festival sets at 2Q Festival in Derby (April 1), Secret Garden Party (July 21) and Truck Festival (July 22). The tour dates are:
2 May - Glasgow, Stereo
