Hey guys! I just finished dinner with my family so i decided to say hello to ya... it has lifted my spirits SO much to read your positive comments! I can be having a bad day or a frustrating moment, but you've left such nice messages on this page and it really makes me smile! So thanks again for your support and encouragement. I wish i could write back to each and every one of you, individually, but since I know that im not the fastest when it come to typing ...it probably wouldnt be realistic. :(
My video premiered on AOL First Look today! I was nervous, but realized that its out of my hands. I worked really hard on this record and on the video, and im very satisfied in the work that me and my team did! I hope you got to check it out, and if ya liked it or have any questions about it, hit me up on here and dont be afraid to ask!
A little background on the video...
Chris Robinson (hes worked with Alicia Keys, Usher, Musiq Soulchild, T.I. the list goes on and on...! ) directed "Too Little Too Late". I'm a big fan of his work and was so excited to get the chance to collaborate with him. We knew we wanted to have a theme besides the "stereotypical cheating boyfriend", so we also incorporated the lead guy playing a sport. I brought up the idea of using American Football, but Chris thought that it would be fresh to use soccer, and a good tie-in to The World Cup which just finished about a week ago. Well, little did he know im a wicked big soccer fan! I go to Revolution games (the New England professional soccer team) whenever I get the chance. The more i thought about it, it seemed like it might be a cool way to expose soccer to an audience who may not be that familiar with it. It is the biggest sport on the planet, and America still hasnt quite caught on. Enough about that though... :)
Hey ladies, what do you think of the leading man in the video? He is a real UCLA soccer player and i got to choose him from a lineup of actors, models, etc. The thing that I thought was cool is that he wasnt an actor or a model! He was just a student who is a gifted athlete as well. We knew he was the one!!
Are you all enjoying your summer? Any summer school or camps? I've been hanging out by my aunt's pool recently and preparing to put a new band and show together and hopefully ill be seeing you all at a venue soon!
Well, i hope to hear from you soon...
Lots of love ;)
