Finneas Debuts Official Music Video For 'I Lost A Friend'

21-year-old chart-topping, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and artist FINNEAS returns today with the stunning music video for "I Lost A Friend." Directed by Sam Bennett and shot in Lancaster, CA entirely in one take, at dusk, the video provides a beautiful backdrop for a song that Billboard described as "intimate" and "emotional," and Consequence of Sound hailed it as "thoughtful" and "heartfelt." Watch the video for "I Lost A Friend" HERE.

To date, the song has racked up more than 5 million streams globally on Spotify. Filled with poignant lyrics, "I Lost A Friend" perfectly showcases FINNEAS' knack for effortless, heartfelt storytelling, paired his simplistic and rousing signature production.

Talking about the new song, FINNEAS reveals "This song was born out of a falling out I had with my childhood best friend. I've made a lot of music covering romantic relationships and a lot covering family but I'd never been able to articulate what it feels like to lose a friend until now. Hope this song gives you some comfort if you've ever felt the same way."

The video for "I Lost A Friend" follows the release of "Angel" earlier this month, a timeless love song, which debuted today as a World Record on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 show on Apple Music [FULL INTERVIEW HERE]. Talking about the new song, FINNEAS reveals, "I wrote 'Angel' while backstage on tour with my sister back in November. I made myself a cup of coffee and sat down at a piano and wrote the whole thing in an hour and played it for the first time that night. Love has always been the most important thing to me and the thing by which my life is guided. Falling in love with someone and feeling so in awe of them that you wonder if they're even real is what I wanted to say with this one."
