London Grammar – “Rooting For You”

Cinematically sweeping British balladeers London Grammar released their debut album If You Wait way back in 2013, and they finally seem ready to return with the follow-up this year. The group has released a new song called "Rooting For You," replete with a live performance video that mirrors the track's high drama. Hannah Reid spends the first two minutes singing a cappella in the dark until finally the lights come up and reveal her bandmates plus a small symphony orchestra. The music remains gentle and ethereal throughout, reaching glorious heights without really raising the volume. Watch it below, where you can also hear the studio recording.
