Guilty Pleasure

'Guilty Pleasure' is a single by British recording artist Jack Stevens taken from his album Close Encounters.

Background
'Guilty Pleasure' is described as a sleek, electro, 80’s style pop track by it’s writer Shell Ruin and is notable for being Jack’s first single as a lead artist to not be produced by Knobfeelers and is instead produced by dance producer Christian Stone. Jack described the single as the blueprint for the second part of the ‘Close Encounters’ album and a shift in artist direction, into a more adult contemporary sound.

Music Video
Following on from their partnership with the earlier 'Close Encounters' videos, Jack worked with Sophie Muller on the video for the single. Filmed in London, the track paid homage to the legendary 80's TV shows Knight Rider and Miami Vice picking up from the 80's sound of the track. Jack spends the video driving around London before arriving at a house party with a pool, similar to Club Tropicana.

Reception
The video was released shortly after the single's debut on streaming sites and received mostly negative response from fans who thought the video was cheesy and didn't match the sensual nature of the track.
