| Me & Jamie At Wedgewood Studios, Portsmouth 2009 |
(Ruby Sigurdardottir Cover)
My girlfriend Ruby “Little Red” Sigurdardottir
was recently in the recording studio and recorded one of my favourite
Jamie T tracks.
I’m a huge Jamie T fan and have been to a couple
of his gigs. A friend and I even had a little chat with the man himself as
well as his bassist Louie, outside Wedgewood studios in Portsmouth. Five words
to describe Jamie are:
DOWN TO EARTH GENUINE HERO.
I was a little worried that I might stubbornly be
stuck in my ways in favor of the original but this was most definitely not the
case. In my opinion, Ruby (as that over hyped up pre-Madonna Cheryl Cole would
say) “absolutely smashed it.” Her sweet, soft voice compliments the lyrics
perfectly and contrasts effectively to what is actually a pretty dark song.
The original music video was actually filmed in
our local town, Broadstairs, by the seaside. Therefore we felt that we should
stay true to the original and film it in the neighboring seaside town of
Ramsgate. Ruby had local producer Nick Wilson remake the acoustic guitar backing
track. She then had a very talented young lady named Parisa Tarjomani shoot and
edit the music video.
We were going for a rustic, grimy feel for the
video, so I felt that my clothing had to be a touch dark, giving me a moody,
dirty but still quirky vibe.
I opted for black skinny jeans rolled up at the
ankles to show thick grey socks paired with beige canvas desert boots. On the
torso I wore an iconic piece that I feel really set the tone of the outfit: a
dark Ivy Fred Perry nylon cagoule, made with the finest British Magellan
material. It gave the whole look that proper traditional English feel.
This was all topped off with a soft khaki trilby
hat and brown tortoiseshell Ray-Ban spectacles.
Hold tight and I will keep you posted for more Little Red music.
Check the outfit and the video out below, and be
nice, or it may be you that ends up bruised and bloody (I’m joking,
violence is for people who are poor with words.)
