Chesney Hawkes is back with his brand new single Get A Hold Of Yourself.
Produced by Grammy nominee Jake Gosling, the track is the first taster from the star’s latest recording sessions and sits between classic Chesney and contemporary, 21st Century pop.
“It’s taken a long time to feel confident enough to really throw myself back into a project but growing up and feeling much more comfortable and freer within myself has allowed that to happen,” says The One And Only hitmaker.
“That’s what Get A Hold Of Yourself is about, getting hold of yourself and being free and not giving a fuck what people think!”
Alongside the track, a ‘Saltburn’-inspired music video sees the star strip off and dance through Arley Hall in Cheshire, best known as Thomas Shelby’s home in much of ‘Peaky Blinders’, with nods to such films as ‘Risky Business’, ‘Love Actually’, ‘The Full Monty’ and ‘The Simpsons Movie’.
“Ever since I watched ‘Saltburn’, I wanted to do something as bold as that scene – and that was where the idea started,” Chesney adds. “There wasn’t another option that matched the essence of the song, the freedom that it encapsulates and the message I want to get across with Get A Hold Of Yourself.
“As ideas flowed, we introduced a few more movie references. And if anyone was wondering where I’ve been all this time, maybe this answers those questions… I’m 52 and dancing about naked in Tommy Shelby’s house!”
