The Irish singer-songwriter serves as Leslie Feist's other half in the video for 'Century'.
The video features Feist and a horde of friends facing up to her dopple-ganger (played by Maria Doyle Kennedy) West Side Story style.
Speaking about the video with Hot Press back in June, Maria said this: "We got to do a one-off project with Feist as a result of a mutual friend bringing her to a gig of ours in Toronto. Leslie stuck around to say ‘hello’ and afterwards we started hanging out a bit. Last week, totally unexpected, she said, ‘I’m making a video for a song on my new album; would you like to come and do it with me?’ I was as terrified as I was excited to be asked, so my husband said, ‘You absolutely have to do it; it’s good to be outside your comfort zone.’ I got the plane over on Sunday; rehearsed Monday; filmed Tuesday and flew home on the Wednesday. It was bonkers!”
