Kim Richey has never been keen on making music videos. So she asked her fans to help. And help they did. They each sent in a photo of themselves with a word from the lyrics of "Wreck Your Wheels", the title track from her new album. The result speaks for itself.
Wreck Your Wheels is out now.
When we talked about making a video for the title track from “Wreck Your Wheels” it was agreed by all that there was little point in making a regulation performance video. Farrah’s “Swings & Roundabouts” had been a success so we thought we’d try a similar fan-enabled concept. With a nod to D.A.Pennebakers footage of Dylans “Subterranean Homesick Blues” (from “Dont Look Back”), we struck upon the idea of asking fans to take a photo of themselves with a word from the song. One photo for each word of the lyric. Taking the idea further we agreed that Kim had to be in the video but we could avoid the fakery of lip syncing all together by only having Kim in the video when she wasn’t singing.
The footage of Kim was shot on digital SLR (stop-motion) in London’s China town, South Bank and Bedford Square.
US pop god Bleu will be making his first visit to the UK in October to support the release of his new album “Four“. Released in Europe on Lojinx and, following his hugely successful (495%!) Kickstarter campaign, his very own “The Major Label” in the US.
