The song I am going to use for my music video is 'How to Love' by Tinashe Kachingwe (Originally by Hip Hop artist Lil Wayne) the genre of this song is R&B.
I have chosen this particular song because I thought it would be interesting how the narrative could change through a female’s perspective and what point of view the audience would look at it.
Background information
At age 14, Tinashe was approached by former pop-star Vitamin C to join an all-girl singing and dancing group. She quickly joined Allie Gonino, Hayley Kiyoko, Marisol Esparza and Kelsey Saunders (later replaced by Lauren Hudson in 2009) to form the Stunners. The goup soon signed with Columbia Records and released a single titled Bubblegum to iTunes along with the official video for the single and as contributed a song to the iCarly soundtrack.
In 2009, the group left Columbia Records and signed a production deal with Lionsgate Entertainment, who also produced a scripted television show pilot based on the group, which was ordered by MTV. In October of that year, the girls released a 5-song EP and shot a music video for their promo single We Got It which was released on February 22, 2010.
They released a holiday single in December 2009, produced by Desmond Child, titled Santa Bring My Soilder Home and performed the song on The Today Show as well as The Wendy Williams Show. After meeting with various labels interested in the group, they signed to Universal Republic Records in 2010 and released their first single Dancin' Around the Truth which featured the New Boyz to iTunes as well as Top 40 radio stations. The music video premiered June 2, just before the group was announced as an opening act on Justin Bieber's My World Tour.
On March 16, 2011 Tinashe announced that she was now pursuing a solo career and working on a solo album. Since her departure, the band has separated. She also announced via her official twitter page that she would be singing the theme song to the CW show Shedding for the Wedding. On April 6th, 2010, a demo solo song Chainsaw, produced by The Cataracs leaked online. Tinashe also sang background vocals for her label mate Bobby Brackins single A1 which also features Dev and well as being featured on a song for his upcoming album, titled "Cake". On May 3, 2011 Tinashe gave her first televised solo performance in front of 57,000 people during the Dodgers VS. Cubs baseball game singing the National Anthem and God Bless America.
