Ben Barnes has finally released his new music.

The actor, known for his roles in NetflixтАЩs тАЬShadow And BoneтАЭ and тАЬWestworldтАЭ, announced his debut EP, Songs For You, in August and has now dropped the music video for the debut single тАЬ11:11тАЭ.

The music video for тАЬ11:11тАЭ stars his тАЬWestworldтАЭ co-star Evan Rachel Wood.

тАЬI am so thrilled to be sharing this with you after 20 years of wanting to release my own music and finally finding the right reasonsтАж itтАЩs never too late,тАЭ Barnes captioned the video that can be seen above.

Of the albumтАЩs title, Barnes previously said, тАЬSongs For You comes from one of my favourite records, A Song For You by Leon Russell (but the Donny Hathaway version, of course), from wanting the songs to speak intimately to anyone who listens to them, and because if a song is written for you, you know who you are.тАЭ

And the single, which is inspired by the sounds of the тАЩ70s, Barnes says came from тАЬpoetry written for a loved one or just for myself, a long-forgotten phrase I jotted down in a notebook years ago, inspired by a photograph, a moment, a quotation, or in the case of one song, a story I read about a female pirate!тАЭ

He added, тАЬIтАЩm fascinated in acting by the duality of people, and that we all have the capacity to feel everything and more than one emotion at a time. I feel that way too about my songs. Even if they seem to be about one thing, IтАЩm interested in conflicting emotion and transitional feelingsтАж the in-between. тАШ11:11тАЩ is about real love; the kind of love where you would give up all your wishes for the one you love to feel wholeтАж even if it costs you, even if they canтАЩt тАШbe yours.тАЩтАЭ
