Jesse Clegg to tour Eastern Cape

- MATTHEW FIELD

South African musician Jesse Clegg announced that he will be launching his new Speed of Light tour in December, in support of his latest single of the same name.

The tour will see him playing concerts in the Eastern and Western Cape.

Clegg’s latest single, “Speed of Light”, is an upbeat popinspire­d track about life’s many surprises.

“This song is about dealing with disappoint­ment and regret and then rediscover­ing your passion and sense of connection,” he said.

“This tour symbolises exactly that a culminatio­n of what this year has represente­d and taking a positive approach moving into the new year.”

Within a week of its release, the song was charting on radio stations countrywid­e.

Clegg wrote and produced the song with Nick Furlong ( Avicci, 5 Seconds of Summer, Kygo, Steve Aoki) and “Walk the Moon” lead singer Nick Petricca.

It was mixed by Grammywinn­ing producer Tim Pagnotta.
