​Last month, we shared an exclusive interview with Joe Hughes, original songwriter of No More I Love Yous, and explored how the track evolved from The Lover Speaks to Annie Lennox’s iconic hit. We also revealed how Joe and his family band My Girl The River were preparing to release their own acoustic version. You can revisit that full story here.

Today, the wait is over. The single is officially out, and it comes with a beautifully simple video that captures the intimacy of the recording process.

About the Video

The video is a stripped-back studio session featuring the three members of My Girl The River: Joe Hughes, Kris Wilkinson Hughes, and their daughter Rue. Filmed in a warm, softly lit space, the focus is entirely on the music. Joe plays acoustic guitar while Kris delivers the lead vocal with quiet strength, and Rue adds harmonies that give the song a haunting, ethereal quality. There are no flashy edits or distractions, just three musicians sharing a timeless song in its purest form.

You can watch the video now on YouTube.

Why This Matters

This new version of No More I Love Yous feels like a full-circle moment. It honours the original composition while offering a fresh, heartfelt interpretation that reflects the band’s family dynamic. For fans of Eurythmics and Annie Lennox, it’s a reminder of the enduring power of great songwriting and the connections it creates across generations.
