Kings Have Long Arms - Big Umbrella (Feat. Candie Payne)

Strangely, the video for Big Umbrella - the collaboration between Kings Have Long Arms and guest vocalist Candie Payne - has arrived, but three months after the single was released in January (we reviewed it here).
Mr Arms sums up the collaboration, when he says: "To me Miss Payne is one of the only heartbeats left in popular music. I unashamedly begged Candie to sing my song. I offered to pick up the leaves in her garden as an exchange for her lending me her voice, but little did I know she lived in a park. One month later and with 689 industrial bin bags full of leaves ready for collection, Candie came over to Sheffield to sing my song."
The video, filmed in black & white, features a lonesome Payne walking through the cobbled streets of terraced housing and alongside canals, while KHLA searches (and narrowly keeps missing) Candie. That is until the pair are turned into animated figures, who use a giant umbrella to fly towards a jumble sale at the sun.
