MUSIC VIDEO (PT 1)

The first ever music video to be released is believed to be 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by QUEEN (1975). On 1st August 1981 MTV was launched. The first music video to be played was "Video killed the radio star" by BUGGLES (followed by "You better run" by PAT BENETAR).

MTV allowed music videos to be played 24 hours a day. 7 days a week.

Today with websites like: youtube, vevo etc, more & more bands & artists use video to promote their music. Artists such as: MICHAEL JACKSON & MADONNA have made some of the most expensive music videos ever. (MICHAEL & JANET JACKSON- "Scream", MICHAEL JACKSON- "Black or White" , MADONNA- "Die Another Day" & "Express yourself")

Nowadays there are thousands of music videos around. However, for me there are a few that i remember when i first saw them:

The first video was in 1991, i was staying at my grandparents house, watching Top of the Pops, it was the premiere of: "Black or White"- MICHAEL JACKSON. As i was around 10 or 11, at the time i had never seen a music video like this before. (It wasn't until i was 15 that i was old enough to see "Thriller") .

In 1996 there used to be a music series called: THE BASE (ITV). I will never forget the time when they showed the video: "Windowlicker"- APHEX TWIN. I have to say it was the strangest video i had ever seen. The video was directed by CHRIS CUNNINGHAM (who is one of my favourite video directors).

A few years later (1999) CHRIS CUNNINGHAM directed another favourite video of mine. "All is full of love"- BJORK.

That is only 3 of my favourites. Yes there are more.

In part 2 we will look at more music videos

What are your favourite music videos? Why?

Until next time

FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK: JELLY CLEAVER

Hi! Everyone, this week's FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK is the very talented  singer-songwriter, musician  & producer JELLY CLEAVER JELLY CLEAVER Please introduce yourself I’m a singer-songwriter, jazz guitarist and producer. I’m also an activist and this really influences my music and the lyrics I write. I love lots of different genres so have quite an eclectic style and like to throw myself into different music scenes. I’m really into the jazz scene and the punk/DIY scene in London at the moment.   How did you get into music? I started playing guitar as soon as I could hold one pretty much because my dad was a guitar teacher, and I’ve always had a really deep connection to music. I’ve tried lots of different aspects of music out though, from leading an African singing and drumming ensemble to starting a rock band. I just love music in all its forms.   What instruments do you play? Guitar’s my first instrument but when I’m reco...

GRANDE ARTIST?

ARIANA GRANDE is no stranger to the charts. Recently ARIANA managed to get the top 1, 2 & 3 spots on the billboard top 100 charts simultaneously. The last time this happened was in 1964 by THE BEATLES who got all 5 top spots. At the moment 11 songs from her album 'Thank you, Next' album are in the top 40. (The only song from the album that hasn't made the top 40 is 'Make up'). DRAKE nearly managed this when 2 of his songs were at spots 1 & 2 & 4 simultaneously. That is a great achievement for ARIANA Until Next Time Law OFFICIAL WEBSITE LW MUSIC SERVICES  (Mixing & Mastering) TWITTER FACEBOOK (Law) FACEBOOK  (LW Music Services) FACEBOOK (The Solar project) YOUTUBE
