Why This Band? We preferred this up beat type of music compared

to our original choice of music. We liked the dominant ‘dancing’ feeling to the

song which we felt that we could really expand on through our video.

Even through it is a different genre of music compared to our old choice, it is not that much of a problem. This is because the lead singer on this song is a female, much like the female artists we have already researched.

This means that it will still fit in with our ‘Emilie and the Emeralds brand identity.
