Some people see Robbie Thicke’s “blurred lines” as a song
which symbolises rape. Recently, the song has been banned from 20 universities
because of its sexual lyrics figuratively implying forced sexual activity (“I
know you want it”). With all the controversy it has stirred up, its hardly surprising that blurred lines has earned Robin the sexiest of the year title from a poll conducted by the Violence against women Coalition which is comprised more than 60 women's rights groups.But on the other hand, some people do not see the song as so
called rape song. Blurred lines is not about rape there same way cop killer is
about killing cops. It depends on an individual’s interpretation of the song.
Robbie thick himself has been defending the song in many of his interviews. He
said “What’s wrong with being sexy?” That could be because, unlike Eminem or
Body count, he didn’t mean to be outrageous. It was conceived and directed by
Diane Martel, who said it forces men to feel playful and not at all like predators. I directed the girls to look into the camera.
The 36 year old smashed the records with the single which sees him T.I and Pharell enjoying a multitude of practically naked women dancing around them. Thick has defended his single implying that mostly young people will understand the concept of the track more than adults. Wrecking Bull Controversy
"Wrecking Ball" reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, Miley's first chart-topping single. It also broke several Vevo records. The way this all happened is a combination of factors. On one hand, credit goes to the talented people writing, producing, and promoting her material. They have done a great job of hyping up the young artist. But the artist gets credit here, too. By any means necessary, Miley has kept her name in the public discourse. In modern pop, if people are saying your name, they're probably listening to your music, too.
Miley Cyrus single wrecking bull has sparked a controversy. Her single involves her riding on a wrecking bully fully naked for the majority of the song. The wrest of the song involves her licking a hammer. This video is known to be an absolute outrage but also a sensational video because of its charts success.
But why would Miley Cyrus even attempt to make such a strong video like this? The reason may be to show that the is a woman and no longer a girl. Cyrus has completely burned the faint image of the so called Hannah montana and replaced it with a sex object.
Miley explained that her inspiration from this song came from Sinead Oconor's single "nothing compares 2u". Sinead did not mind the fact that miley sees her as a role model but is not happy with the chart topper. The irish star believes mileys transition from hannah montana to sexy cyrus is absolutely disgraceful.
When looking at the EP album cover for Bastille's, Bad Blood,
a girl is seen to be in the sea. This image comes from the music video. This is also what I am planning to do for my digipak. When considering the
composition of the artwork, the girl is at the top.This puts attention on the girl as it seems like she is the odd thing out in the image. The sky is blue the water is of a similar colour but the theres a girl with black hair looking as if she is about to drown. The bands name is central on the album cover in a large,
bold, capitalized font. The font is further in a sans-serif type, likewise to
the typography on the album covers by Scouting For Girls. Aligning the font
central allows the audience to instantly recognize the artist of the track,
displaying the most important information in paramount position. The triangular
symbol, representing the A in Bastille lets the audience further identify the
band, acting as a logo to the bands name. The positioning of the text
additionally draws the attention of the audience, making their eye track
different paths of the typography, looking over the totality of the album
cover. Finally, the typography is white in colour, acting as a contrast to the
artwork, allowing the text to distinctly stand out as it has been superimposed onto
the image face.
Nothing compares to you was originally writen by prince for
one of his projects called The Family. It was later made famous by the artist
Sinead O’Connor in her second studio album called I do not want what I haven't
got. This became a worldwide hit in 1990.
The opening lyrics assumedly establish that this song is
about a heart-broken harrowing tale of love and the loss over it. The genre of
the track, alternative pop, is portrayed much slower and more meaningful than
other pop songs. For example, Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" - this
track also has an emotional meanings attached to the lyrics, but the drumbeat
throughout the track and quick edits of cuts between clips take away the
emotional aspect of Adele's music video and transforms it into something else -
a track which could be danced to
in a lively manner.
The opening shot can represent how Sinéad is by herself, in
the wilderness all alone and unloved by the wild, cold chilly surroundings
within the mise-en-scene as she is seen alone, with no one around her for
comfort.
The close up of Sinéad's face between 1:15 to 1:20 has an
emotional and meaningful relationship with the audience consuming the music
video. Between 1:15 and 1:20 is the main lyric(s) of the chorus: "Nothing
compares to you". Sinead expresses
the lyrics by making the audience relate to her story, as in each and every
chorus, as soon as she sings the lyric "you", it's as if she is
connecting with the viewer - the viewer is the one who she is singing about,
she's singing to you and not for you as a way of entertainment and pleasure to
listen to.
The camera then cuts to an autumn setting with leafs falling
onto the ground with Sinead fading out to around a 50% opacity within the
mise-en-scene to still remain visible to the viewer. The leafs falling to the
ground could represent how at this point the music video changes emotionally
and in musical pitch as the track is approaching the first half of the middle
section within the song where Sinead starts to "yell-out" towards the
viewer, expressing her emotions more frequently by looking into the eyes of the
consumer.
The falling lefts could also represent how what was, has now
been lost. Leafs falling from trees are dying and will be replaced during the
Summer due to the cold bitterness of the approaching winter season - a cold and
chilling season, one which some may not like to spend alone.
Andrew Goodwin: Pop Videos can be used to reinforce a brand image
Through the release of this song, katy perry was seen as an older sister figure to a target audience consisting of girls approximately 12-15. This video showed katy Perry as a positive role model. She then released a song called last Friday night. This video was based around a typical girl having a party. This reflected the older part of her target audience. This lead to her fans continuing to accept Katy Perry as an older sister figure. Not only this but the fact the video all symbolises that no matter who you are; geek, not a geek etc, you are still beautiful this also widened her audience.
She also released a song called "California gurls". This music video was know as the video that completely went against all her other videos. From being a sister figure to being a sex symbol. The motive behind this video may be because of what was happening in her life at this time. During this period she had recently got married to Russell Brand. A comedian/actor who does not really care about Katy Perry type or target audience but more of an adult one. This music video led to many young girls not listening to her music. Comparing the views on youtube, the difference is drastic between "Last Friday Night" and California Gurls". Later on, Katy Perry released a new single called "Wide Awake". This music video was made to assure that what she was portraying in her previous song. This music video also had a man that make have symbolized her ex husband, having charm but also having the wrong intentions. She hyperthiticaly assures her fans that she will not fulled into being such a person like that again. As a result to this, it lead to the amount of views for the video (through youtube) increasing by over 100 million. Therefore she won her fans back.
