Gabrielle Aplin has just released her brand new video for her original composition, "Home," the fourth single from from debut studio album, "English Rain," and the title track from her third EP, "Home," which might suggest something dreary and dismal, it's only because, as a songwriter, she explores the dark side of love. At the age of 20, this YouTube phenomenon and English rose has proven that she has the voice to do great things and with a voice as elegant as hers and with a knack for crafting dynamic pop tunes, you probably won't hear too many people complaining.
The "Home," is a prime example, basking in warm nostalgia while gradually unraveling to a background of tender acoustic strums and hushed drum beats. The lyrics seem to tell Aplin's present story, painting the picture of someone who loves her home dearly, but knows she can't stay there if she is ever to find herself. The track's lyrics capture the sentiment perfectly, proving that Aplin is just as effective on paper as she is on a microphone. It is this type of maturity that may lead you to believe that she is older and has more experience, but the realization that she still has her entire life (and career) ahead of her only raises her figurative ceiling.

"The song isn't about the house you live in or where you're from. For me it's about being with people you love, and appreciating it, even when its far away. I wrote 'Home' when I moved away and felt lost" Aplin explained about track. Aplin is one who thrives under pressure. Especially on "Home," she never seems pressured to do anything besides what she wants to do, thus resulting in one of the most refreshingly unforced sounds in modern day pop. In a recent interview with Digital Spy, Aplin said about the updated version of the track: "I'm also excited for people to hear the new recording of 'Home' - it's slightly bigger-sounding than before and it's exactly how I wanted it to be in the first place."
The accompanying music video begins with a nervous looking Aplin walking back to her car before being mugged by a group of boys, who take her keys. The talented singer is then forced to walk throug the desert in order to reach home. Struggling through the days, Aplin takes to hitching rides, washing cars, and staying in motels, before reaching her destination and buying her beloved guitar to busk on the streets of Los Angeles! Don't worry guys it has a happy ending.
