Will Young's new video is here

Will Young's new single, 'Changes', has been on the radio for a couple of weeks now. If you've heard it you'll know it's a very classy, very adult pop song with a very tasteful sense of bleakness to it. It actually sounds like a semi-distant relative to James Morrison's 'You Give Me Something', which is no surprise really, seeing as both songs were co-written by Eg White, who also penned Duffy's 'Warwick Avenue' and Will's own 'Leave Right Now'.

Anyway, 'Changes' is all about being stuck in a rut - "It's like a record going round, yes it's going round, going round, going round," Will sings at one point. "I know I should wanna take it off but I find it hard." The video captures this sense of desolation and quiet despair perfectly and somehow finds an excuse to put a cow in a petrol station. The whole thing oozes quality, but brace yourselves before you hit play because there's a bit of a shock at the end.
