After dodging the camera for the first leg of his recording career, Vance Joy is staring down the barrel for the cover of his long-awaited debut Dream Your Life Away.
No more arty blurs, or in the case of the Riptide video, being totally MIA.
“You can see people’s personalities in their eyes,” Vance Joy says. “You can tell if someone is really feeling the song they’re singing. I wanted to have a straight on direct ‘look into my eyes’ moment for this album cover. If I’m going to regret anything it’s not going to be that my face looks like my face. People can like it or not like it, but I won’t look back and go I shouldn’t have been wearing that hat or anything.”
Vance Joy has had an unexpectedly long time to finish his debut album. There’s a simple reason why – his first single “Riptide” kept charming the world and its charming author followed it around the globe. Several times over.
