Singer-songwriter Jesse Clegg is introducing a new chapter in his musical journey with his newest release, 'Hurricane', on Friday, 30 August. 

An upbeat indie-pop anthem, 'Hurricane' showcases Clegg's remarkable ability to blend personal storytelling into his music.

"'Hurricane' is about embracing the storms we face in life and finding strength in our ability to overcome them," says Clegg.

"It's a song about resilience, about standing firm in the face of adversity, and knowing that, no matter what, we have the power within ourselves to navigate through it."

But wait, there's more! 'Hurricane' is co-written and produced by American music star Nick Petricca from Walk The Moon, known for their hit 'Shut Up and Dance', which reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In addition, the music video for 'Hurricane' features the Jeppe Girls Choir from Jeppe Girls High School in Johannesburg. 

"Working with eighty talented choir members from the school brings moments of gospel-inspired harmony. They bring amazing energy to the 'Hurricane' music video, and I loved every minute of working with them," says Clegg.
