Chosen Song

For my advanced portfolio, I am going to be using the acoustic version of Foundations by Kate Nash. This is an Indie Pop song, which was released in 2007. Foundations is the lead single on Kate Nash's debut album 'Made of Bricks' and she co-wrote it with Paul Epworth. Following it's release, Foundations reached number 2 on the UK singles chart and remained there for 3 weeks, as well as getting positive reviews from the likes of Rolling Stone and The Guardian.
I chose to do this song because its clever lyrics and preppy beat inspired a lot of ideas in me for the video. The way Kate Nash conveys sadness and anger in such a fun, upbeat yet snarky way is very interesting and hooked me on the song, and I really want to capture this feel in my music video. I also decided to do the acoustic version rather than the original because I like more stripped back nature of it, and I want to focus on and incorporate the more raw beat in the video. Also, the acoustic version doesn't have a music video made for it, so I can start completely from scratch and look at the song with an open mind rather than have the temptation to take bits from an original video.
Note: The song is actually 3:21 in length, this YouTube video just has blank space at the end for some reason.
