I’m thrilled to announce that my new music video, “Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder (Reboot),” premieres this Thursday, November 6, at 7PM PST / 10PM EST exclusively on YouTube. This video comes from my full-length album Volume One (I Left You Before You Could Leave Me) Reimagined, a project that allowed me to revisit the songs that defined my early journey and bring them to life in a new, cinematic way.
This reboot version celebrates the release of the album on CD — a format I’ve always loved for its warmth, depth, and intimacy. There’s something about holding music in your hands, hearing it come alive with texture and emotion, that digital streaming just can’t replicate. That’s why this edition was made especially for fans who value that experience.
You can pre-order the CD here: christopherlouiebooks.com/shop, (CD is scheduled to ship after November 7), or stream the full album on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Amazon Music, and all major platforms.
Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder has always been about longing, memory, and rediscovery — and now, seeing it visually interpreted in this cinematic reboot is deeply rewarding. I hope when you watch it, you feel the same mix of nostalgia, emotion, and storytelling that inspired me to write it in the first place.
Set a reminder for the YouTube premiere this Thursday, and join me as we bring these songs back to life in a way that’s both familiar and new. Thank you to everyone who has supported me along this journey — I can’t wait to share this moment with you.
