Rhys Lewis dropped the new single “Midnight” for the title track on September 23. Directed by Simon Lane, Rhys Lewis’ brand new video follows four actors dreaming of their first big role. It is their chance to be a superhero. But like all great heroes, they needed to fail to become stronger. United by rejection for their various roles, they end up triumphing over adversity and become superheroes anyway.
The concept of the “Midnight” music video is about 80s aesthetic and lyrical melodrama and the image of a group of superheroes. In all the superhero stories we know and love, ordinary people can suddenly become extraordinary.

Rhys notes, “To me, Midnight is pure escapism. The day before I wrote this song, someone asked me when I might be able to start gigging again. The thought of playing live to a room full of people genuinely gave me goosebumps. I was keen to have a track with that kind of energy, something that would feel incredible to sing with a crowd. This is the song that I wanted to play live for the first time in a sweaty venue, with a sweaty band, just like old times.”
