Your support makes all the difference.Spandau Ballet star Gary Kemp has released an AI-generated music video for his new single I Know Where I’m Going.
The black and white video, directed by Mike Bennion, sees a man journey across land and sea in a “hyper-real” animation.
It also features shots of animals, a shrine to a woman, and a spiral staircase, as the 65-year-old sings: “I know where I’m going, I plan to take a rest there.”
Released today, the single, which has been self-produced alongside Kemp’s collaborator Toby Chapman, will feature on his upcoming studio album This Destination, which will be released on January 31.
The song, which Kemp described as “the most personal on the record”, features a string arrangement by the renowned John Metcalfe, formerly of The Durutti Column, who has also provided arrangements for Blur and U2.
It also features throat singing by Mercury Prize-nominee Sam Lee.
The album will be released along with a special mix, created by Porcupine Tree singer Steven Wilson, using spatial audio mixing which creates an immersive sound by placing audio elements into a three-dimensional space.
Kemp’s LP will be released on streaming, digital download, vinyl and CD.
As songwriter and guitarist for Spandau Ballet, Kemp has worked on 10 UK top 10 singles and eight UK top 10 albums, with the band best known for songs such as Gold and UK number one True.
