Boyce Avenue featuring Kina Grannis-Fast
Car
This music video shows the 2 people singing (Alejandro
Manzano and Kina Grannis) and a person on percussion, in everyday normal
clothing. The location is a studio with the microphone set up for recording.
There is no story or featuring other people within this
music video. It is purely focusing on the singing, to show the passion. Each
time a person sings the camera focus on them only and blurs the other person
out. Also the audience will see the occasional extreme close up shots of a guitar.
Example in the shot 1.18 you can see that Alejandro Mazano is in full focus
while Kina Grannis is not.
While at the end of the song they did a credit and
advertising, since Boyce Avenue is a self promoting band and Kina Grannis is
signed with another company. Boyce Avenue and Kina Grannis, both write and
create their own songs along their own music videos.
I personally think they did this to make people appreciate
this all time classic beautiful song. As the song was originally sung and
written by Tracy Chapman, Boyce Avenue and Kina Grannis made a acoustic version
of it. Tracy Chapman Fast Car was written back in 1988, it was a hit. It was
number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100. She
first sung Fast Car at Nelson Mandela 70tb Birthday Tribute concert in 1988,
June 11. Tracy Chapman is still singing today, her newest album is called “Our
Bright Future”, it was released in November the 11 in 2008 and now she is
touring. According to her website it says that in every concert she will sing
Fast Car. Due to the fact that it is her most famous song and millions of fans
have said that they can relate to it and how it inspires them.
Such as Boyce Avenue and Kina Grannis, they remade an
acoustic version of it. On YouTube it gained 12,944,606 views, 68,509 likes and
441 dislike. I personally think the reason of the 441 dislikes is that, those
people may prefer the original only and believe that the original is always the
best. Also this is a duet acoustic
version, while Tracy Chapman sung this song alone.
Boyce Avenue, featuring Kina Grannis in Fast Car can be
purchased on itune and their CD. Or you can simply go see them both live in Los
Angeles currently. For the Tracy Chapman version, you can purchase her CD or
see her in one of her concerts and she will guarantee to sing it.
