Charles Mehling has delivered some stark and bold visuals - beautifully shot by DoP Rob Witt - for the return of Emeli Sandé, where a tempestuous beach and vertiginous cliffsides takes on on epic qualities fit for the direct emotional surge of Hurts.A striking, muscular man - representing the culprit in Emeli's heartbreak - claps and beats his chest along to the track, joined by a flapping vulture, no less, in all its glaring and wild intensity.As the man freely makes his way through the rocky, expansive location he leaves Emeli in his wake, wailing at a grey, uncaring ocean. And she really does deliver the message of the song.
