London based singer-songwriter Hugo Valentine is back again with his brand new single entitled “Rule The World.”
This latest offering is a soulful, cheery, yet equally pensive pop ballad filled with rich, acoustic instrumentalisation; beautifully enshrined in Valentine’s signature smooth, husky vocals.
“Rule the world is a song about a close friend of Hugo’s who has been suffering from addiction. It’s an appeal to him to fight to regain his love of life and to find joy in positive things. It is difficult to witness the desperation and destruction that addiction causes but in writing ‘Rule The World’ Hugo seeks to sum up both pain and hope, aiming to uplift the listener and bring light to the darkness.”
“…Often one finds a lot of comfort in reminiscing about happy times from the past, and this is an idea that the song explores. The notion of ‘together we can rule the world’ aims to fill the sufferer with the hope that he doesn’t have to do this alone, that others are there for him and that he can make it through this difficult part of his life with the help of those who love him. ‘Rule The World’ brings to light the isolation that often comes with addiction and seeks to remind people who suffer in this way that they are not alone.” – Hugo Valentine.
