Gibbons previously released videos for the Lives Outgrown tracks “Floating on a Moment” and “Reaching Out.” The latter video is also available as an “interactive experience.” She made the record with producer James Ford (Depeche Mode, Arctic Monkeys) with additional production by Talk Talk’s Lee Harris.
‘Reaching Out’ is accompanied by two variations of a music video, created with the visual artist Weirdcore. The standard version of the video can be seen below, while an interactive version of the same visualiser can be seen here.
First announced in February, ‘Lives Outgrown’ will mark her first solo album to be shared from the iconic trip-hop frontwoman, and is set to contain 10 new tracks recorded over a period of 10 years.
