The latest single from new musical Lady M has been released, starring West End star Jamie Muscato (Heathers, Les Misérables, Moulin Rouge!).
‘However Hard I Try’ was recorded at Abbey Road studios and produced by Lady M creators James Beeny and Gina Georgio with multi-Grammy Award winning record producer Rik Simpson, best known for his work with Coldplay (Viva la Vida, Mylo Xyloto, A Head Full of Dreams).
The music video was directed by filmmaker James Hastings and filmed at Mavro Worldwide Studios in London.
Lady M is an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, and the song ‘However Hard I Try’ is sung by the character Banquo. In the story, Macbeth’s corrupt actions leave the honest Banquo with no choice but to betray him, even though he is his oldest friend. If he goes through with the betrayal, Macbeth could be executed, and the song reveals Banquo’s inner turmoil as he struggles to come to terms with his decision. He sings “As I must betray this man I’ve known for years, it will live with me ‘til I die/ I won’t forgive myself however hard I try’.
‘However Hard I Try’ is available on all streaming platforms. Click HERE to listen.
