Mike Marlin - No Place Like Home video:

No Place Like Home finds Marlin walking the streets and boulevards between the blue eyed soul of Hall & Oats and the suave sophistication of the Thin White Duke.

It has a different vibe to it than much of his album, a sort of French café thing, the song tries to conjure up the sense of yearning for somewhere to be, or someone to be with, so you feel safe.

The single version features a new arrangement and has been remastered with the midas touch of Barry Grint at Alchemy, famous for his work on everyone from The Beach Boys to Jessie J.

The team behind Marlin's legendary office destruction video for "Play That Game" are once again on production duties to provide the visual story behind the song which see's the house featured in the single artwork bought to life as the track unfolds.

'Nearly Man' is available on all good download stores and CD format from the official website.

"Kookily charming with a voice like melted butter, one of my favourites" - Goldierocks - 4Music / Selector
