Chosen Song

One Way Or Another

One way,or another, I'm gonna find ya;I'm gonna get ya get ya get ya get ya!
One way, or another, I'm gonna win ya;I'm gonna get ya get ya get ya get ya!
One way, or another, I'm gonna see ya;I'm gonna meet ya meet ya meet ya meet ya!
One day, maybe next week,I'm gonna meet ya, I'm gonna meet ya, I'll meet ya!
will drive past your house,And if the lights are all down,I'll see who's around...
One way, or another, I'm gonna find ya;I'm gonna get ya get ya get ya get ya!
One way, or another, I'm gonna win ya;I'll get ya! I'll get ya!
One way, or another, I'm gonna see ya;I'm gonna meet ya meet ya meet ya meet ya!
One day, maybe next week, I'm gonna meet ya;I'll meet ya!
Ahhh And if the lights are all out,I'll follow your bus downtown,See who's hangin' 'round!
One way, or another, I'm gonna lose ya;I'm gonna give you the slip!
A slip of the hip, or another;I'm gonna lose ya, I'm gonna trick ya! I'll trick ya!
One way, or another, I'm gonna lose ya;I'm gonna trick ya trick ya trick ya trick ya!
One way, or another, I'm gonna lose ya;I'm gonna give you the slip!
I walked down the hall,Stand over by the wall,Where I can see it all ,Find out who ya call!
Lead you to the supermarket checkout, See speacials on rackThen get lost in the crowd!
One way, or another, I'm gonna get ya;I'll get ya, I'll get ya get ya get ya get ya! One way, or another, I'm gonna get ya;I'll get ya, I'll get ya get ya get ya get ya!
One way, or another, I'm gonna get ya;I'll get ya, I'll get ya get ya get ya get ya!
One way, or another, I'm gonna get ya;I'll get ya, I'll get ya get ya get ya get ya!
One way, or another, I'm gonna get ya;I'll get ya, I'll get ya get ya get ya get ya!

Creating Our Music Artist

Name:...............

Genre: Pop rock, ElectroPop and Dance

Our artist will be formed as a young girl band all ranged around the ages between 18 and 23. The all girl band consists of 5 members, all attractive, and each with a unique and individual voice and personality to bring to group.

Biography: The girls all come from the UK and each play instrument's like the guitar, the piano and the drums. They all grew up together, sharing a passion for music and the devotion to pursue their love of music. They grew up listening to influential music from artist such as, Spice Girls, The Bangles and Banaramma. They have performed at charity gigs and have been a supporting act for the artist Pink's recent tour of the UK. The group are now preparing for the UK tour which the dates will soon be posted on their twitter page and website later this month. They will also be featured in next months Look magazine and have many up coming magazine deals and TV appearances. They are also signed up for interviews with T4 and two other radio stations and will be doing a Cd signing when their single is released in the 15Th October.

The artist image and how it will be constructed: Tainted Reality all have their individual styles and how they are presented but are linked together and with each others personalities. The completed image to their audiences and the media will be sophisticated and sexy. Tainted Reality produce their own music and have a major say in all of what they do.

The Bands identity: Bold and Sexy, they will be in control of their music career and the representation of their band. They make decisions together and want their image to constantly change to keep their audience intrigued.

Web space: Tainted Reality have their own website aimed at their audience and each band member has an individual twitter page for their fans to contact them, and to show the normality within the group.

PR stunts and Gimmicks:
The band used to have a regular job at a bar in London where they would perform on a Friday night. Alliances that will be used are things such as an upcoming chance to record with Timberland and Mr Hudson. Tainted Reality want to get out there and do as much as possible to promote themselves, especially if it benefits their loyal fans.

CD: With each individual CD a promotional code will be given to access the website, which will enter the fan into a draw to win front row seats to the upcoming tour. The digipack will have a singed photo of each band member, song lyrics and information about the band.

Target Audience: Tainted Reality will be aimed at mostly teenagers ranging from the ages starting at 13 to most probably people in their 20s. However its impossible to designate an actual age range of the audience because their music could potentially be aimed for any age because their style changes constantly and isn't just a narrow category.

Rough Trade












Rough Trade was found and set up by Geoff Travis in 1978 who began travelling across North America adding to his already large record collection. The company is an independent record label. The main focus of the music industry is the audience which helps develop and progress the industries, for example rough trade records began targeting individual audiences which slowly and gradually developed into a wider audience.
By the end of 1979, a number of bands now commonly associated with Rough Trade had started to release records on the label, including Scritti Politti and The Raincoats. Rough Trade had grown far too large for its legendary tiny premises. The success of the label, which by then distributed product by many hundreds of independent record labels, meant that larger premises needed to be found and in December 1980, the label and distribution moved to Blenheim Crescent.
The signing of The Smiths in 1983 out Rough Trade into new territory. However in 1991 the success got too much and the record company and the rights to the Rough Trade name itself, were sold off in an attempt to cover Distribution’s debts. Despite bankrupcy RoughTrade soon got back on its feet and relaunched on 2000.

Some of the artists connected with Rough Trade are ;
Babyshambles
Duffy
The Libertines
The Raincoats
Scriiti Politti
The smiths

John Landis



John Landis is an American film director, screen writer, actor and producer. He is known for his comedies and his music video with singer Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson's Thriller is a 14-minute music video and was most successful and expensive video created so far. Landis also known for Michael Jackson's "Black or White video" and videos for Pail McCartney.




I chose John Landis because i remembered hearing about him as being the director of the Thriller music video and decided to look into him and see what his work was like, as i researched him I became fascinated by what he had achieved and been involved in. Another thing which interested me was that he just didn't specialise in one certain area but a whole variety, almost giving the impression that he didn't like to just settle for one career option and he like to explore other aspects of his career.

In 1980, Landis co-wrote and directed The blues Brothers. It featured musical numbers by legends such as James Brown Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles.At the time it was one of the most expensive films ever made. Landis has worked for a variety of companies including Direct TV, Taco Bell, Coca Cola, Pepsi, Kellogg's and Disney. Landis had also worked as a stunt man specialising in certain falls.

Case Study on a music artist





Britney Spears



I chose Britney Spears mainly because her work and herself is well known, she has had alot of media attention since she first began as a teenager and i felt there was so much to say about the artist from the drastic change in which her career has taken.

Britney Spears is a musician and an entertainer,she signed a recording contract with Jive, releasing her debut album Baby one more time in 1999, however the video caused alot of trouble as it was said to be 'disturbing mix of childhood innocence and adult sexuality'. The album reached number one. Britney has practical grown up within the media and her public life has been made public from the fact she has been married twice with two children with Kevin Federline and the idea which was created showing Britney being represented as unstable.



Britney Spears next album was called "oops i did it again" this album also headed straight to number one and Britney's career began to take off. In early 2002, Britneys four-year relationship with Justin Timberlake ended. His 2002 song "Cry me a river" and its music video, which featured an actress resembling Britney, caused speculation that she had been unfaithful.




Next Britney had her first starring role in the 2002 film Crossroads in which she portrayed a high school graduate who travels to find her long-lost mother. The movie was poorly received, as was her performance; Spears received an award for Worst Actress and for Worst Original Song.


At a performance at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, she appeared performing the song "Like a Virgin", and was later joined by singer Madonna, with whom Britney kissed on the lips and the incident was highly publicize.



In July 2004, Britney announced her engagement to Kevin Federline, three months after they met. Federline had recently been in a relationship with actress Shar Jackson, who was eight months pregnant with their second child. Later on Britney went on to having two children with Kevin and later getting divorced in 2007.
Britney now appears to be doing better after success of her recent album and single "Circus" in which also hit number one.
