L'Hereu Riera

L’Alba diu que no li agrada, que sembla una iaia fent veu
d’adolescent… I a tu? A mi em sembla més aviat una paia cantant amb
aire indolent.

Desenreda’t el coco, noi. “She’s the wave, she turns the tide, she sees the man inside the child. She moves in mysterious ways…”

Jackie Joyce [Perth, Escòcia, filla de pare ghanès i de mare escocesa] AKA Helicopter Girl is a Mercury
Prize nominated artist with two albums under her belt. The first,
entitled How To Steal The World, is a moody and sparingly produced gem
of cool blusey, trip-hop beats combines with Helicopter Girl’s
seductive purr and esoteric, sometimes menacing lyrics. The second
album, Voodoo Chic, from which this video is lifted, is a fully
produced, some might even say over-produced, pop record that captures
some of the initial mystery of her first record, but loosed much of her
edge. And while this video has much cross over potential, it would need
the marketing budget of a Dido release to catapult it to the mainstream
consciousness. Cliptip’s advice- land it in a car commercial. The video
is directed by the collective known as Burning Vision (founded by James
Heath and Gratian Dimech) and is a clear homage to Blue Note records.
