Lewis Watson is a 21 year old English singer and songwriter born in Oxford. His specialist genres are pop, folk and acoustic. He has a record deal with Warner Bros. Records, which came after the release of two albums, the first in 2012.The album that I have chosen is 'The Morning' which was released in February 2014. The song list is below:
1. Stones around the sun
2. holding on
3. Into the wild
4. outgrow
5. ghost
6. stay
7. windows
8. close
9. halo
10. sink or swim
11. Castle street
My chosen song for this album is 'into the wild' as the song is at a slow enough pace for lip-syncing to be included easily enough, as the words are clear. The songs dynamics also change quite frequently, therefore the video can be changed to suit this.
Ben Howard is an English singer and songwriter from London. His genres are folk and indie folk. Every Kingdom is my chosen album which was released in 2011 while he was (and also still is) signed to Island and Communion. He performed at Glastonbury in 2013. The song list is listed below:
1.Old Pine
2. Diamonds
3. The Wolves
4. Everything
5. Only Love
6. The Fear
7. Keep Your Head Up
8. Black Flies
9. Gracious
10. Promise
My chosen song from the album is 'Keep your head up'. The reason for this, is because it has a lot of messages with in the song which can be easily picked out and demonstrated with my music video. The song lyrics are very clearly spoken and can be lip-synced more easily this way. The song also changes mood and tone a lot which will be good to illustrate through the video.
Kodaline are a band from Dublin, but were previousy known as '21 Demands'. The band have been active collectively from 2005 but the name change occurred in 2011. They specialise in indie rock, alternative rock and folk rock. The album 'In a perfect world' was released in June 2013. The song list is below:
1. One Day
2. All I Want
3. Love Like This
4. High Hopes
5. Brand New Day
6. After The Fall
7. Big Bad World
8. All Comes Down
9. Talk
10. Pray
11. Way Back When
My chosen song for this album is 'Love Like This'. I have chosen this song because the song has a clear message through out, based on the pain of love. This can be demonstrated well through my music video and therefore would be an ideal choice.
