Foy Vance's 'Coco' is written for Courtney Cox's daughter – so no surprises who's directed the video for the track.
The tune, taken from his album The Wild Swan, has been given a video helmed by the actress, who also explained her connection with the Northern Irish singer-songwriter.
"Johnny brought Foy into my life a few years ago and, immediately, he became a very close friend," the Friends star reveals. "He also got to know my daughter, Coco, and a song was born.
"From the first time Foy played 'Coco' for me (and every time I’ve heard it since), I’ve felt he captured, not only Coco’s unique personality, but also the beautiful childhood innocence that sadly, but inevitably, fades with time. It is like a snapshot of the world as seen through a child's eyes… sung by a man who is moved by how the world seems from her perspective. I think it’s a perspective that we, as adults, never stop longing for.
"Naturally, I was thrilled when Foy asked if I would direct the video for "Coco". My hope is that I conveyed in a visual way the many levels of feeling that Foy’s song so brilliantly expressed. I am struck, and continue to be struck, by Foy’s incredible soul as a musician and father… he is a truly unique human being… and I am proud to call him a friend."
Now signed to Ed Sheeran’s label Gingerbread Man Records, Foy hits the road for his biggest ever tour in September – it eventually arrives on home soil in December, with dates at Ulster Hall, Belfast (5), Cork's Cyprus Avenue (7), The Academy, Dublin (8), Roisin Dubh, Galway (9), before another trip to the Ulster Hall (10).
