It’s been two years since Jesse Clegg experienced the heartbreaking loss of his father, icon Johnny Clegg. For any child, the loss of a parent is one of the most traumatic things one can experience and as he continues to deal with his emotions during this difficult time, the star took to music to reflect. The result? His emotional new single ‘Waiting On The Outcome’.
Recorded from a studio in downtown Los Angeles, California, ‘Waiting On The Outcome’ is a song about finding strength through loss and taking the journey to finally gain closure and celebrate the life we live every day.
“It’s a very personal song to me and was written in a moment in my life where I had to come to terms with losing someone and it was really important for me to capture the emotion of the words visually,” Jesse tells us.
In the track’s official music video, shot and directed by Andre Badenhorst, Jesse manages to capture that feeling with solo performances against a backdrop of intimate black-and-white family videos. “The song deals with the complicated feeling of loss – on the one hand, there is sadness and fear of change, but there is also something empowering about facing these big moments in life and trusting yourself to get through it,” Jesse adds.
