British musician James Blunt, best known for his track "You're Beautiful" has released a new video for his newest track "Dangerous," the fifth British single from Blunt's the third studio album "Some Kind of Trouble." We're sure the 37-year-old musician has had his fair share of promiscuous women and he has expressed his feelings about it in his new visual. "The brief was simple: a gorgeous/dangerous girl and just a cameo for James," director Luc Janin explains.The promo is filmed in a mysterious POV depiction and in the point of view of a lovely lady in red stiletto heels. The mysterious woman takes us through the crowded rooms of a dance hall where beautiful show girls are in costume getting ready for the night, and through the sketchiest of hallways in a seedy burlesque club. Her venture ends when she strolls into a room with a long awaiting guest, and of course, it's Blunt himself. The ending showcases a smidgen of eroticism in a purely artful form that leaves the viewer wanting more.
"Dangerous" is quite good with an uptempo beat backed up by a distinct indie type melody whilst. It starts out as an uplifting key board build up, dropping into a hard hitting track with incredible electro synths and pounding drums that progressively get more and more powerful. This distortion heavy progressive track comprises of women walking around in scanty attire which can be deemed dangerous when viewing this video in a office or school environment. Not his best work but when they mix from mellow to heavy that are definitely worth a listen!
Blunt told The Metro that this song is about the English supermodel Kate Moss. "Yes, she is a dangerous woman," he said. Failing to elaborate the singer cryptically teased; "It's one of those naïve songs full of that teenage energy. That excitement of having someone, that fear and the excitement of the unknown. On the song 'Dangerous,' it feels like a teenager picking up a new instrument and writing something with all of that naive excitement." "Dangerous" is not the first word that springs to mind when you think Blunt, which is probably the reason why he opted to not actually appear in the video until the very end, and then only in silhouette!
