“Beg & Crawl” by Max Jury

Max Jury has unveiled the new video for his upcoming single “‘Beg & Crawl’,” from his debut album out on June 3rd via Marathon Artists. The video was directed by Daniel Brereton, and weaves together beautiful vignettes of a young couple in a somewhat ambiguous relationship.

Max says, “The video follows the shenanigans of two people, attempting to depict that age old dilemma: ‘Are we friends? Are we lovers? Are we anything?’ It was a pleasure to work with Dan again as I am a huge fan of his process and use of colour and film.”

‘Beg & Crawl’ follows hot on the heels of previous single ‘Numb’, which features on the official soundtrack for the upcoming film ‘Me Before You’ (based on the best selling novel of the same name).

The track is a joy to behold live and will be a mesmerising part of his set when Max plays a short run of UK dates end of May including London’s 100 Club May 26th.

Max’s self-titled debut album was recorded in New York with hip hop producer Inflo and a band of musicians who regularly play with Alicia Keys and D’Angelo, and in a sleepy North Carolina town with the musical director of a small, local black church. Both these locales helped Max effortlessly bridge gospel and soul with his country roots.

Max writes, sings, plays guitar and piano, and has a voice like no other. He’s spent much of the last two years living in London, his adopted second home, after growing up in Des Moines, Iowa. Among his many fans, Mark Ronson says: “Max’s songs and musicianship conjure up so many of my favourite elements of country, soul, gospel and rock ‘n roll. I can listen to his album on repeat.”
