Background information Into my artist

1) The song ‘you don’t know me’ is written by my artist not by someone else working for the Liberty records. My artist expresses how she feels about society and conforms to these expectations in her lyrics and video narratives. My artist represents different groups in society representation through the media for example. My artist uses this to enthuse her into writing lyrics about how she feels about these representations. Her feelings are portrayed through her lyrics and video narrative. In ‘you don’t know me’ she reinforces these stereotypes, however at the end the stereotypes are all subverted by a spin to the narrative. This makes it apparent that all the stereotypes and misrepresentation influential institutes such as the media have are wrong and need to end as the consequences on the target is damaging emotionally. As a result of this the generation used as scapegoats will become resentful and may end up conforming. My narrative overcomes these prejudices.
