“In my bed/But what’s the cost?” Aaron James is going through some stuff in “Ghost,” his latest single from Nobody Really Makes Love Anymore. He think’s he’s found someone special, and she’s intrigued enough to hook up. But now he’s sent a “note in a bottle” and she’s got read receipts off. What gives?
Aaron fears the worst, and so do I. But it’s better to have loved and lost and written a great song about it than to have never loved at all. Backed by Unapologetic producer Kid Maestro and some inspired vocoder work by Eillo, “Ghost” is the climax of an album filled with mascara-runners and heartbreakers. The video by Jordan Dudek drifts by like your gauzy memories of (I Blew It With The) Hot Girl Summer. Grab a tissue and take a look:
