Marten, who grew up in North Yorkshire, describes the natural world as “the only thing that is true; the only thing you can trust”. The resplendent white stallion she rides in the video for recent single Leap Year acts as a visual representation of its power. In reality, however, Marten had inadvertently employed the Mariah Carey of the equine kingdom. “He’s called Titan and he was Galadriel’s horse in The Rings of Power,” she laughs. “He got sponged in buttermilk before the shoot and none of the crew were allowed to interact with him, or me when I was on him.”
