Pete Doherty has revealed the video to his new single ‘I Don’t Love Anyone (But You’re Not Just Anyone)’ taken from the album Hamburg Demonstrations to be released on 2 December 2016 and is available for pre-order. Mxdwn featured the announcement of this album last month (see article here).

Directed by Luca Monterosso Whitman, the video is aesthetically artistic featuring Doherty blended with ink or watercolour illustrations by art student Celine Jennings. Luca said of his involvement with Doherty:

“I am very proud and flattered to give my contribution to the creation of this beautiful project. Being able to work with Peter has been an amazing experience.”

Famous for fronting the Libertines, and then Babyshambles, Doherty has had a varied career punctuated by his changing reputation.

Interviewed by Ingrid Sischy (Interviewmagazine.com – read the full interview here), Doherty speaks of his connection with the audience:

SISCHY: The thing that struck me when I first read about you is your desire to really keep a connection with the audience and break down the distance between performer and audience. Where does that come from?

DOHERTY: The same place any desire comes from: the soul. I wouldn’t say it was necessarily deliberate in the early days, but there was a point where ya have to … put the kettle across the pedal, if y’know what I mean. And, I think “Horror Show” was really the first song where I actually thought, What are the people listening to this song gonna think?

Pete Doherty is presently in Argentina and will be performing Mod Club San Telmo, Buenos Aires, tonight (21 October). Famously, back in April, Doherty announced (a story covered by Mxdwn, read the article here) he would be involved in the opening of the Bataclan Theatre, Paris. It is with no surprise that both of these November gigs are sold out. See Doherty’s November tour of France below:
