Kelleigh Bannen is getting her revenge in her new vibrant video for her dynamic new single "Famous," after walking in on her boyfriend with another woman, she hits the road with the intentions of making him 'famous.' She wants everyone to know what he did. Back to 2012, Bannen released an interesting, well-written single called "Sorry On The Rocks" and it showcased the previously indie singer/songwriter's strong and powerful vocals in this catchy tune, as well as sense of melody, but for some reason the single failed to ignite with radio stations.
All of this should change with her new single "Famous," the lead single from Bannen's upcoming new debut album via EMI Records Nashville, is a good old-fashioned revenge song set to a very contemporary beat so catchy it might need a virus definition all of its own. The melody mixes a percussive beat and mandolins into an infectious bed that backs up strong lyrics which find Bannen singing about the various ways she's gonna make a guy famous in a small town for how horrible he treated her and about the lies and cheating ways he had. With her effervescent personality and country charm, Bannen might very well remind you of the girl-next-door.
Written by Sara Haze, Troy Verges and Gordie Sampson, "Famous" certainly is a 180 from the singer's previous material and that might get some 'traditionalist' fans who were behind her early self-released album to wonder if she's chasing 'trends,' but when a song's this good does it really matter? "What first attracted me to the single was the angle," explains Bannen. "You cheated on me, you hurt me – so I'm going to make you famous. It's not just revengeful, there's a little smile and wink to it – and I love that!"
Filmed in Palmdale, California, the visually stunning video was directed by London Alley's Hannah Lux Davis, showcases Bannen as the feisty heroine in the story alongside powerful performance footage from the up-and-coming star. While we've all seen the revenge plot played out in music videos before, director Hannah' adds an additional layer to "Famous" by focusing both on the revenge storyline and on the pain Bannen's boyfriend has caused her. It's always fun to see a cheater get what he deserves, but it makes a better story to reinforce the reason he deserves it, and Hannah does this all the way up to the very final moments of the video.
