Alternative Single Cover

"Miracle" is the lead single by British duo Hurts taken off their second studio album "Exile", which was released on 10 March 2013, exactly a day before the album release. The song premiered on BBC Radio 1 on 4 January 2013. This single is available to download on iTunes from 11 January 2013 in various European countries.[1] In Germany, the "Robots Don't Sleep Remix" was released instead. A remix EP was released on 1 March.

Music video

Two versions of the music video exist. The first video was filmed in Colindale (London). The video was released on 4 February 2013.

Black colour dominates the video. Black marries the band’s widescreen synthpop with this dark and dramatic journey through a post-apocalyptic shopping centre, peppered with religious imagery and fearless half-clad dancers, ending on a rooftop with the Hurts hashtag-like logo in flames.[2] This version of the video was leaked and then deleted. The official music video was posted on Hurts official Vevo account on 28 February, giving a very different concept from the first version released.[3]

First version was directed by Chris Turner[4] and the second one by Frank Borin.[5]

Live performances

Hurts performed the single live at The Jonathan Ross Show on 9 February 2013, which was their first performance of the song on a television programme.[6]
