Our genre

We have been very indecisive and unsure about what genre are artist is part of. We first discussed the idea of her being a dubstep artist but realised this doesn't really work as this wouldn't really work as an album of one artist. This is because Dubstep take songs from different artists - not making an album with just one of these artists.We talked about the idea of it being a remix track and all quite liked this idea. It would be the Track 13 on the album which would be the remixed song on the album. We all are keen on this idea and we have decided on this. This would mean that she would be an artist who is a singer/songwriter, possibly in the genre Trip Hop. One artist that we have looked at that is similar to this sort of artist is Delilah. She is a singer/songwriter who has collaborated with Chase and Status who are a electronic music production who have worked with associated acts like Plan B, Rihanna. This collaboration  featuring Delilah brings together two different genres - which is like our track.



One thing that I have noticed when looking at music video of these kind of artists (Delilah) is that in their videos another girl is playing the main part in the narrative story and they are often in that location but looking onto it instead of being in on the action - this kind of goes with the convention of what we are doing in our video as she is overlooking the event - but then becomes apart of it. There isn't so much of a 'performance' element in the video (i.e them singing on a stage), and this is something we are not including in ours so we are fitting the template for the videos of this genre of music.
