New York, NY (Top40 Charts) GRAMMY Award-winning recording artist Nate Ruess is releasing an exclusive short film based upon his debut solo album, "GRAND ROMANTIC." Debuting on Apple Music, The Grand Romantic, the acclaimed collection - which features the hit single "Nothing Without Love" - is available now from Fueled By Ramen.
Directed by Anthony Mandler - who also helmed Ruess' hugely popular "Nothing Without Love" companion video - The Grand Romantic brilliantly captures the album's unique spirit, its urbane pop examination of contemporary love and longing now articulated in glorious widescreen. The three-part comic drama tracks the NYC-based artist as he struggles to find his voice - and make a record - all while also showcasing new musical numbers from the acclaimed album, including "AhHa," "Great Big Storm," and of course, the smash single, "Nothing Without Love." Please see https://apple.co/TheGrandRomantic for more.
"Great Big Storm," the latest single from "GRAND ROMANTIC," is climbing Hot AC radio charts - currently holding #34 placement - with song adds across the country. The track's companion video can be viewed now:
