It’s a busy time for Dami Im at the moment, not only preparing for her tilt at Eurovision glory in Stockholm next month with her pop ballad ‘Sound Of Silence’ and preparing for her recently announced national tour, but she’s now just a week away from releasing (and plunging headlong into promo mode) for her Carpenters covers album ‘Classic Carpenters’.
Today she found time to drop the music video for her cover of the iconic ‘(They Long To Be) Close To You’.
It’s a pretty simple affair; Dami singing and playing at the piano alongside her drummer and trumpeter, not straying too far from the original stylistically, though putting her own little flourishes in here and there.
It’s quite sweet, particularly the bit earlier in the clip where she recreates the album cover in real time!
