New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today, multi-platinum-selling rock band
X Ambassadors share the video for current single "Adrenaline." Directed by
Daniel Iglesias Jr., the clip finds the band's front man, Sam
Nelson Harris, in a chaotic state of mind as he puts himself in extremely dangerous situations, pushing the boundaries of life in search of that adrenergic high. The video is indicative of the mental health struggles that people face every day, including Sam.
Sam
Nelson Harris says about the video, "Usually I'm pretty good at keeping it together, but when I was working on this album, I felt like I was LOSING MY DAMN MIND... making this album was a test for me, to see what would happen if I let myself lose it. Adrenaline was one of the last songs written for the album and, I feel like, perfectly captures that sentiment. For the video, I wanted to do something that felt a little slapstick / psycho. Fun and dangerous. But it was
Daniel (Iglesias Jr.)'s idea to throw me out of a goddamn airplane."

"Adrenaline," "Okay" and "My Own Monster" mark the start of a compelling new lyrical direction for
X Ambassadors and is the first new music from the band since their hyper-creative multi-part project (Eg). A three-song effort released in early 2021, (Eg) found the band collaborating with a series of similarly forward-thinking artists, including Earl St. Clair, Terrell Hines, and Jensen McRae.
X Ambassadors made their full-length debut with VHS, a 2015 release that saw the band transition from Ithaca alt-rockers and Brooklyn-indie-scene outsiders to Billboard stalwarts. Now certified platinum, VHS provided an intimate look at Sam
Nelson Harris and his brother Casey Harris's youth, delivering the genre-defying hits "
Unsteady" and "
Renegades" and leading to a three-year global touring odyssey as well as a string of high-profile festival performances. VHS was followed by X Ambassadors' 2019 sophomore album ORION, which they supported with an extensive headline tour of the U.S. A project inspired by '60s and '70s soul and R&B, the band's Belong EP arrived in March 2020.
