Frank Turner shares 'Josephine' video

Frank Turner has today revealed the starkly affecting video for his new single 'Josephine'. 'Josephine' is the second single to be taken from the singer-songwriter's critically-acclaimed sixth album "Positive Songs For Negative People".

A barnstorming rock anthem, it was recorded with his long-standing backing band The Sleeping Souls. "It's a song about the search of the elusive perfect other, if he or she even exists," says Turner, "and it's also my favourite set of lyrics on the new album."

"Positive Songs For Negative People" feels like the triumphant culmination of a decade's work for the prolific troubadour and has cemented Turner's place as one of the country's most cherished artists working today.

The album entered the album charts at number two. Turner was only denied his first number one by the release of Dr Dre's first studio album in 16 years. After spending much of his early solo career sofa-surfing his way round the country on extensive tours of small venues, Turner now plays the biggest halls in the land but has never lost that emotional connection with his crowd. 'Josephine' aptly demonstrates his way of combining the raucous and melodic. Like the rest of "Positive Songs…", it was recorded in Nashville with Butch Walker.
