A few weeks ago, singer-songwriter Claire Hopkins<\/strong> dazzled local audiences with the release of her first original single, KEEPER.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 It is a very personal country\/pop song that was inspired by how she met her boyfriend, Stuart and tells the story of just knowing on the first date that it is meant to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now she is back in the spotlight with the release of the single\u2019s jolly and witty music video with a twist. \u201cThe music video is not what one might expect,\u201d<\/em> admits Claire. \u201cInstead of literally interpreting the single, the video turns it on its head \u2013 it infers that while I see Stuart as a keeper, he doesn\u2019t feel the same and thinks I am crazy. What ensues is an arranged \u2018ratchet\u2019 wedding. The groom is kidnapped <\/em>by the bridesmaids and brought to the ceremony, where I essentially \u2018force\u2019 him to participate in the festivities.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea for the video was conceptualised by director Tylo Ribeiro from Inkglas, with some input from Claire. \u201cI wanted the video to be fun, unique and unexpected. I didn\u2019t want to repeat the concepts typically associated with love songs. I wanted to create something that would be both memorable, light-hearted and reflective of my sense of humour.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
