Rationale
Rationale reveals the stunning new video to ‘Fuel To The Fire’, inviting us to witness a more passionate side to his music than previously offered.
The track was written by the Londoner after watching particularly grim news on the television 18 months ago. Rationale explains ‘Fuel To The Fire’ “is a song about power, pressure, frustration & hope.”
The extremely evocative video tells the story, and despite the track being written 18 months ago, the subject matter unfortunately remains timeless.
