Singer-songwriter Talia Dean has reunited with Queen guitarist Brian May for a new holiday release, unveiling the official music video for the Christmas song “Praise Your Name.” The video, directed by Simon Lupton, also features the award-winning St Anne’s Catholic High School for Girls Gospel Choir.
The collaboration marks another creative chapter between Dean and May, who have worked together multiple times. According to May, the project has been quietly in development far longer than fans may realize.
“Only the most EPIC Christmas track EVER!!! It’s a tour de force — a beautifully simple yet powerful and joyous song of praise for Christmas, written by Talia herself”, Brian said.
“Yes, I did have a hand in its production — we’ve been secretly working on this since before last Christmas! It’s been worth the wait”.
Dean also shared her own thoughts on the release, emphasizing the effort that went into bringing the song and video to life: “This is going to be epic. We’ve worked hard on this… almost caught pneumonia making this music video”.
Brian May’s connection with Talia Dean extends beyond this release. Last year, he appeared in her widely noticed music video for “You Made Your Bed,” further cementing their ongoing creative partnership.
