James Bourne 'X-Man' by Hoops
Promonews - 7th June 2022
It's trouble in Paradise, as James Bourne (from Busted) struggles to find inspiration to write songs while on the tropical island of St. Lucia, in Hoops's video for X-Man.
A two-man crew of just Hoops and DoP Sam Robinson have nevertheless achieved cinematic scale for this story of creative angst, where Bourne suffers for his art in breathtaking surroundings.
Finally things come together for James - and that is exactly what happened, as his album Sugar Beach was inspired by an original trip to the island.
"James wrote [his] solo album while quarantining on the tiny Caribbean island of Saint Lucia so, when we went back to shoot the videos, I wanted to tell that story of James finding inspiration from the island," explains Hoops, aka Liam Hooper.
