James Marriott Visits a Dodgy Dentist in His New Video for ‘Toothache’

James Marriott has recently released his new single, ‘Toothache’, and it’s not just a catchy tune—it’s a stark reflection on his past. The Brighton artist, known for his raw lyrics and engaging melodies, utilizes this track to share a deeply personal narrative.
This stunning single serves as a precursor to his anticipated second album, ‘Don’t Tell The Dog’. In it, Marriott dives into themes of neglect and the repercussions stemming from his childhood experiences. He states, “Toothache is probably the most damning song I’ve written about myself.”
Let’s break down what makes ‘Toothache’ stand out:
- **Honest Reflection**: The song candidly addresses Marriott’s struggles with dental hygiene and how it mirrors deeper emotional battles.
- **Collaborative Effort**: Written and produced with talents like live guitarist Jono Suter and the Finnish duo Aleksi Kiiskinen and Eeli Savolainen, the track showcases a blend of creativity.
- **Visually Engaging**: Accompanying the single, the music video, directed by YouTuber Pinely (Orr Piamenta), features a humorous and adventurous excursion to a dubious budget dentist.
- **Chart-Topping Predecessor**: Building on the success of his previous single ‘I Don’t Want To Live Like This’, which soared to the top of the Official Singles Downloads Chart, this track is bound to catch attention.
