I haven't seen this music video in AGES, I'm so happy to see it again, thanks to my Thursday Revisits. Here's Pixie Lott's second music video, and such a great performance based video for her follow-up single from "Mama Do (Uh Oh, Uh Oh)". This was when the girl was on form, blasting out hit single after hit single. This is what we need from her when she makes her comeback! Pixie Lott shows she can sing, dance and perform in this video for "Boys And Girls" bringing style and star quality to a perfect party.
Pixie Lott, real name Victoria Lott, came on to the music scene with "Mama Do (Uh Oh, Uh Oh)", this follow up second single gave her another number one in the UK. At the height of her career, she was banging out hit song after hit song, and although her most recent songs have been just as good, she hasn't had chart success with the songs, like she clearly deserves. "Lay Me Down" is still one of my favourites from her. This song was written by Mads Hauge, Phil Thornally and Pixie Lott.
The music video was directed by Diane Martel, displaying a crazy house-party where Pixie Lott totally has the spotlight on her.
Pixie Lott is completely on fire in this music video, with dance choreography performed perfectly and in-sync with her backing dancers.
Who wouldn't want to see her in concert if this is how she brings a performance. Parties are all about having fun and that is exactly what is happening here, such a great vibe. Pixie Lott invite me to your next party please, because I want to be dancing in-sync with you one day!
Overall a great music video that I will definitely watch again one day. The song is fire and Pixie Lott is on form throughout. It's hard to think that this is the same person who just dropped "A Real Good Thing" video. We need you to come back with a fire hit Pixie Lott, we know you can do it.
Time for my home country for the Eurovision Song Contest 2014, and an act I have supported for some time now, and I shall continue to support Molly because she a vocal powerhouse of a talent that deserves to be out there living her dream. This didn't do as well as we all thought it would, but we've done worse and 17th with 40 points is actually not too bad! The song is catchy, but it turns slightly bland the more you hear it. "Children of the Universe" has a great visual concept, but Molly doesn't look like she's all that into it, and it doesn't relate, but it's an okay performance visual.
Molly, full name Molly Smitten-Downes, hasn't done much since releasing this song; as far as I can tell, she's trying to make a name for herself, by featuring on new songs as she gains more fans and some great reputation. She released a free download (that I totally missed out on, unfortunately). She was chosen for the Eurovision Song Contest 2014, after she was discovered by BBC Introducing, via internal selection. She has had hits previously under the name Stunt, where she collaborated with Sash for "Raindrops (Encore Une Fois)" as well as releasing "I'll Be There" and "Fade Like The Sun". The song was written by Molly Smitten-Downes and Anders Hansson.
The music video hasn't got a lot going for it, just Molly performing in the visual as they play around with the camera and actually bring out a good concept regardless of the how unrelated it is to the song.
The song is extremely powerful and meaningful, a narrative may not have worked but it would've been so much better than the conceptual visual performance based video we have got instead.
Molly's heart is clearly not into this as she sings the song whilst drums are being played and she starts to blend in with the couch. In her previous videos she stuns in her performance pieces, just watch her videos as Stunt and you can tell she's not into this whatsoever.
Beautiful regardless, she gives all she can and although the song may mean a lot to her, this video doesn't and it's such a shame to see her like this. She's composed and interested, but she doesn't look like a singer, she doesn't look like the star we all know she is destined to be. So Molly, make the comeback we all know you can do, and we'll be supporting you all the way!
Wasn't quite sure what music video to do today, but saw that Pixie Lott dropped this on her YouTube Channel and I just had to review it, although the music video itself isn't that great, the song is FIRE! The video is a collaborative effort between Pixie Lott and Select Model Management, and is time limited, within a month this music video will not be available. One of Pixie Lott's favourite songs which also includes Shaggy, "A Real Good Thing" music video contain the hottest couple, Pixie Lott and Oliver Cheshire, and some very hot models dancing and showing a real good vibe.
Pixie Lott is currently playing Holly Golightly in Breakfast At Tiffany's. Real name Victoria Lott, she has had a successful career so far but it has totally dropped in recent time due to her record label. She needs to make a massive comeback, she has the voice for it, just needs the promotion and the songs. Featured on the track is Shaggy, real name Orville Burrell, who hasn't been doing well in the charts lately, but he's made his fortune and he is still a high quality and profiled singer, regardless of the fact that he doesn't chart all that much no more. This song is quite good but the video doesn't follow through. It's a cover version of Sugar Minott's "Good Thing Going" which in itself is a cover of Michael Jackson's "We've Got A Good Thing Going".
There isn't a whole lot going on in this music video. Oliver Cheshire and Pixie Lott feature in this video, showcasing this feel-good summer cover song.
It doesn't really suit Pixie Lott's voice but the song is catchy. Showcasing a modelling agency, Select Model Management has selected their best models to be in this video, and although they don't have dance expertise, they're all hot and stylish and bring the feel-good vibe to the video.
Visually slow with absolutely nothing really going on, you can tell that they all are having a real good time in this video. It's probably never going to be released as a single, and so it's a short campaign that probably won't be around for much longer, yet helps to promote the models and Pixie Lott for a little bit. Relatable and fun, this could have been so much better, but it doesn't need to be.
Jonas Blue is back with this banger of a song which is in the UK top 10. So as you probably guessed the UK number one does not have a music video, "Cold Water" by Major Lazer featuring Justin Bieber and MØ is sitting at the top. There's very little choice in the top 10 to choose from, as most of them I have already reviewed, or they don't have a music video. Jonas Blue and JP Cooper do not appear in this lovely music video that shows a couple's first meeting and how they're perfect strangers, a clear connection that develops further after a bit of confidence.
Jonas Blue, real name Guy Robin, is a British music producer who hit it big last year with vocals from Dakota in his debut track "Fast Car", a cover version of Tracey Chapman's original "Fast Car". This time it's an original song and it's even better than we can imagine. Featuring vocals from JP Cooper, real name John Paul Cooper, who is slowly making a name for himself, will be one to watch in the coming years. This song will definitely help him no doubt. The song was written by Guy James Robin, John Paul Cooper and Alex Smith.
Directed by Sashinski, the music video is serene and beautiful, with the high concept of two people meant to be together, randomly meeting again and again. It features male actor Devin Dollery and female actress Victoria Scholtz as the love interest.
They visit various places where they bump into one another, definitely perfect strangers. Then they join hands and go and explore things together. It's sweet and innocent, in such a fiercely emotional way.
This is the kind of thing we all yearn for. We all actually want a story like this to tell people, but it never really works this way, so we can keep on dreaming and keep it for TV and films and music videos, and one day we will all have our own story to tell, but it won't be this one.
Overall, a very lovely relatable music video that goes well with the song; However there's nothing interesting going on, no exact moment where it piques the audience's interest. Not like Matoma and Becky Hill's "False Alarm". This is what this song is missing, regardless of the fact that the song itself is sweet. I was just waiting for something to happen, and nothing did.
What the hell have I just watched? This was the guy who brought us "Calm Down Dearest", "If You Got The Money", "Shelia" and "Sticks 'n' Stones". Taking a whole different route to music, reminiscent of new indie, Jamie T actually releases a catchy little song that is quite forgettable after a little while. This is totally not the case when it comes to the music video though. Jamie T doesn't feature in Power Over Men music video, however this low-budgeted clip shows a middle-aged woman overpowering men in a BDSM scene.
Jamie T, full name Jamie Treays, has been going since 2007. He has had various chart hits but lately hasn't been doing so well, with his new musical direction. This could be due to the break from music he had before his third album. By this point his fans had dropped off entirely and he had to bring them all back. With this music video, he may have done just that, finally. This song was written by Jamie T and James Dring.
Directed by Tom Beard this music video looks like a typical new-on-the-scene indie music video, with it's hidden depths.
Relatable to the song about women having power over men, the visual video shows a middle-aged woman going about her life, it's not until further on in the video, we realise she has a guy trapped in her house tied up in her BDSM chamber.
There are little hints at the start, what with the guy's briefcase and shoes on the front door step, and then flashbacks during the woman's day. But it's not until she's done her shopping and has returned home that she dresses into her dominatrix outfit and shows her power over this man.
It's quite revealing and shocking. It shows that portrayals outside of a house can be totally different than what happens behind those front doors. It's quite a real realisation, and it can be interpreted in many different ways. Kudos for Jamie T going with this music video.
