UK-based producer and composer Tourist reveals his official music video to accompany his newest track, "We Stayed Up All Night (ft. Ardyn)". Check it out below! Directed by Daniel Brereton (Kindness, Connan Mockasin, Metromony), the video manages to encapsulate that feeling of unapologetic youthfulness while mirroring the tracks sense of wonder and adolescence within its 4 minute window of opportunity. Brightly tinged with rich colors, bright, carefree imagery, and gorgeous textures, the music video presents the viewer with a very unique and ephemeral take on young love and youth.
London-based, GRAMMY-winning songwriter and electronic musician William Phillips makes yearning, bittersweet dance tracks under the name Tourist. He's considered an "artist's artist", with fans such as Flume and Porter Robinson supporting his releases. After the self-titled debut EP (2012), Tonight EP (2013), and Patterns EP (2014) featuring guest appearances by Lianne La Havas and Will Heard, as well as high-profile remixes for Chvrches, Haim, Christine and the Queens under his belt, Tourist went on to win the GRAMMY for co-writing the Sam Smith hit "Stay With Me", and he released his debut album U (2016) to critical acclaim and support from outlets like Vice, Billboard and Rolling Stone Australia.
The single, "Run" landed with #1 spots on BBC Radio 1 dance charts and Hype Machine. This was soon followed by a string of sold out shows as a live favorite across the United States, Europe and Australia, including major festival appearances at Glastonbury, Coachella (twice) and Bestival.
Here's what's next for William Phillips aka Tourist: "With this new music I wanted to make something that was more reflective of who I am now and how my life has changed over the past year. I moved out of my windowless studio and started writing from home again. I think subconsciously I've started writing more joyous, colourful music and I've loved being more collaborative once again. These tracks are my favourite music I've produced so far, Tourist will always change with each release and I've loved pushing the sound into a new place."
