Nate Ruess Releases Short Film

GRAMMY Award-winning recording artist Nate Ruess is releasing an exclusive short film based upon his debut solo album, "GRAND ROMANTIC." Debuting on Apple Music, The Grand Romantic, the acclaimed collection which features the hit single "Nothing Without Love" is available now from Fueled By Ramen.

Directed by Anthony Mandler who also helmed Ruess' hugely popular "Nothing Without Love" companion video The Grand Romantic brilliantly captures the album's unique spirit, its urbane pop examination of contemporary love and longing now articulated in glorious widescreen.
