After researching many different types of genres of music video, it was then time for myself and Libby to choose a song in which we could produce our own music video for.
Our choice ended up being a song called 'The Author' by Karima Francis.
The genre for this particulaqr song is accoustic soul/indie. The reason for this is because it falls under the indie category, but Karima Francis' uses soulful mealodies in her songs. This makes the song a hybrid as it falls under different genre categories.
A lot of the time, the majority of songs are hybrid, as it is difficult to define each song into just one specific category. Many songs now have elements of different genres such as pop/soft rock, rock/grunge, or R'n'B/soul/pop. There are so many various types of music these days that its not as simple a lot of the time to put a song into a genre category.
Karima Francis is a singer/songwriter, formerly from Blackpool but currently based in Manchester. She started out small and unknown until the Observer named her 'number 1 act to watch out for in 2009' and after she performed at Manchester's In the City.
Shortly after this she signed a record deal with an independent company called Kitchenware Records.
