John Adams Premieres "Things That Make You Beautiful" Video
Singer/Songwriter John Adams has premiered the powerful official music video for his new single Things That Make You Beautiful. This song draws influences ranging across Sam Smith, Charlie Puth, James Blunt and David Gray. It is packed with so much emotion and his vocals sound amazing! I am a sucker for piano-based tunes and this one is right up my alley. John said,
When I was writing this song I was planning my wedding, my wife to-be was starting to come to terms with the fact she was 30 this year and was worried that her looks 'may fade'. When i started to think about the 'Things That Make You Beautiful' there wasn't any mention of any visual appearance, and it was all characteristics that were ‘inside' and ones that wouldn't change over time. I tried to mirror this concept in the music video and try to question our first impressions that are always based on appearance.
John hails from Aberdare in the South Wales Valleys. His acoustic approach compliments a unique and impressive vocal ability and his songwriting shares innermost thoughts, and purposeful observations. In 2011, John appeared on the X Factor singing 'Cannonball' by Damien Rice. He was widely credited for getting 'Cannonball' back into the charts, making history as the first time a song had re-entered at a higher position than the original release.
