Pixie Lott- Cry Me Out
Pixie Lott is a female British singer songwriter from Essex in London. Her birthname is Victoria Louise Lott she was given the name 'Pixie' by her mother as a nickname. Pixie Lott is currently signed with Mercury Records in the UK and Interscope Records in the U.S. Her genre of music varies from pop soul and R&B to Wonky Pop and Electropop. She started out with the single 'Mama Do' which was released to Myspace and gained over 2 million views on Youtube. It was then entered both into itunes and the UK chart at number one after 50,000 sales. It spent one week as number one and eleven weeks within the top forty. She released another single called 'Boys and Girls' which topped the UK Singles Chart on 13 September 2009. During the week in which it reached number one, the single sold just under 50,000 copies. It has so far spent nine consecutive weeks within the top seventy-five and eight consecutive weeks within the top forty of the UK Singles Chart.
On 14 September 2009, Lott's debut album, "Turn It Up" was released. The album debuted at number six on the Album Chart. The album has so far sold over 100,000 copies in the United Kingdom and was certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry in October 2009.
Lott has written a song for Alexandra Burke's debut album, Overcome, titled "You Broke My Heart" and a song for Girls Can't Catch titled "Alone". She also has written two tracks on Lisa Hordijk - the Dutch X Factor's winners album, they are titled "No Good For Me" (1st single off of album) and "Promises, Promises".
Pixie's third single from the album was confirmed as "Cry Me Out" upon the release of the previous single and the single was later confirmed for physical release on 23 November 2009. The music video was directed by Jake Nava (director of recent videos for Beyoncé, Leona Lewis and Shakira) and was shot in Cuba. Lott won two MTV EMA Awards MTV Europe Music Awards 2009, Best UK & Ireland Act and Best Push Artist (best break through artist.)
'Cry Me Out' is Lott's most recent single which i think relates to our music video the most from the others as they are both about relationships and not being with that one person anymore. However I also believe that it is a good inspiration as to what locations should be used for our music video and the style of the video is very similar. As it is black and white throughout the video it shows how she feels. There is alot of natural editing used which shows realism therefore the audience can relate to it.
