Henry Green Releases Brand New Single 'Outside' + Music Video

Today, songwriter and producer, Henry Green releases the second single 'Outside', alongside a stunning music video which captures the song perfectly.

Henry builds towards his third studio album, with his boldest sonic statement to date. The new single ‘Outside’ sees him venture into the dance world with trademark sophistication. The song cleverly incorporates a sample from The Temptations' timeless classic “I Wish It Would Rain,” and the simplicity and depth of the hook “I wanna go outside” make it a perfect fit for a summer post-lockdown anthem. 

Henry's genuine and heartfelt approach has earned him great following. The track’s introspective and universally relatable lyrics, coupled with rich electronic production, ensure this will resonate with current and future supporters.

"I remember writing the original sketch for Outside, during one of the many lockdowns here in the UK. I knew that, when writing the original chord progression, I wanted to work with a sample rather than my own vocal. It felt serendipitous the way that the sample was found. I stumbled across a recording of David Ruffin of The Temptations on my laptop. I’d seemingly downloaded it years prior to the sample and that line ‘I want to go outside’ lined up almost perfectly as I was searching through my files. Obviously, the literal meaning resonated during that period of confinement, but it also resonated so strongly given the mental space I was in and the desperation I was feeling to escape my own internal dialogue.”

Alongside the single, Henry has released a stunning music video which perfectly captures the song, watch this below.
