My Chosen Song : Lorde / Bravado

Lorde - Bravado 




The song I have chosen for my music video is called Bravado by LordeShe is a 20 year-old singer from New Zealand, whose real name is Ella Yelich - O'Connor. Her music can be categorised as electropop, dream pop and indie rock. The song Bravado is from her first album Pure Heroine (Extended). One of the reasons why I chose this song is because although Lorde is popular, this song is less well-known. This particular song also doesn't have a music video so I won't be influenced by Lorde's interpretation. 

My music taste is extensive and diverse, but many of my favourites would be restricted to the common storyline of a doomed relationship, which would limit my presentation of the song visually. 
However, Lorde's music lends itself to being cinematic and her lyrics don't follow the usual mantra of other artists. This would allow me to challenge myself creatively with my own interpretation of the song. 

As an artist and as a person Lorde influences/inspires me. Her approach to music and the music industry is unique from artists that came before her. How I interpret the song is that it's one of female empowerment, which means I can use a female as my primary focus for my music video. Like Lorde and other indie rock artists, it means if I wanted to isolate all the audience's attention on a single performer, then I would be able to.
