Video: Video: Gabrielle Aplin: exclusive live performance At 20 years old, Gabrielle Aplin is very much a star of the computer age. She has posted homemade videos of her performances online since she was 14, clocking up over 30 million views as she effectively learned to play and write in public. Her first major label single, a version of Frankie Goes to Hollywood's Power of Love, went to No 1 at Christmas in 2012. Yet there is an old fashioned core to what she does, writing poetry and performing on acoustic guitar and piano. Home is her new single, out this week on Parlophone, taken from her chart topping album English Rain. Confessing that she has outgrown many of her early songs, Aplin explains that Home was where she really felt she found her own voice. She released an independent, self-produced version in 2012, and has now remade it with Rudimental producer Mike Spencer. In this exclusive performance, Aplin plays Home in its simplest and most touching form. Gabrielle Aplin with Neil McCormick (Roger Goodgroves) "Acoustic music, organic music is like a staple," Aplin says of her generation's continued fascination with singer-songwriters. "After hearing a lot of dance, pop, techno and R'n"B and all of these things it's nice to have some calm. I like electronic music but if I've been listening to it for too long, I go and sit and listen to Joni Mitchell. Aplin guests on Needle Time on Vintage TV at 10pm, Tuesday July 16 (Sky channel 369, Virgin 343 and Freesat 515)
