Devlin and Ed Sheeran share the screen in new clip Watchtower
The UK rapper Devlin teamed up with singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran for the clip supporting his latest single "(All Along The) Watchtower", a clip which shows Ed covered in blood after a bullet wound.
Fans can experience the short film in all its thrilling cinematic glory after the jump. The track features the red-headed heartthrob Ed Sheeran - which crrons the chorus - and is produced by one of the country's best new beatsmiths, Labrinth, who sonically transports Bob Dylan's <a href="http://www.sweetslyrics.com/743289.Bob%20Dylan%20&%20The%20Band%20-%20All%20Along%20The%20Watchtower.html" target"_blank">"All Along The Watchtower" into the 21st Century.
Meanwhile, the visual centerpiece – which features some of the UK's top young acting talents in Jaime Winstone (Kidulthood), Neil Maskell (Atonement), Tilly Vosburgh (Vera Drake), and George Russo (Turnout) – depicts a tale of crime and getaway, played by the two leading names, Devlin and Ed Sheeran. The picture even leaves the door ajar for a possible sequel, so stay tuned. "Watchtower" will be released as a single on August 19th, with Devlin's sophomore album, A Moving Picture, arriving on October 29th.
