Let’s just say it at the outset: this may well make you cry.
Four years after the song flew to the top of the Irish charts, Jamie Lawson has unveiled the official video for his single Wasn’t Expecting That.
The British singer-songwriter was last month unveiled as the first ever signing to Ed Sheeran’s own label Gingerbread Man Records.
The debut major label release of his self-titled album will come in 9th October, alongside with a headline show in Whelans on October 30th.
Wasn’t Expecting That has already achieved double-platinum sales in Australia following Jamie’s tour with Ed earlier this year, seeing Jamie play to over 185,000 people.
Ed said: “I first became aware of Jamie Lawson a few years ago, after hearing his track Wasn’t Expecting That. I very rarely get emotional over a track, but that song stopped me dead. He manages to put across such raw emotion within his work, and I knew immediately that I wanted to work with this guy in some way. Having decided to start my own label ‘Gingerbread Man Records’ with my label Atlantic Records, the first artist I had to sign was Jamie. Starting Gingerbread Man Records means I can put music I love out there on a huge platform, and Jamie seemed like the perfect choice for my first release”
Now, Jamie has unveiled the video for the track, and it’s an emotional roller coaster. Charting the life of a couple through courting, marriage and children, be prepared a heart-breaking end.
