Hey everyone!! I know it's been forever since I have posted anything. I am happy to say I am back again and this time with a very special project!!
my brand new song Crush On You!
FEARCITY is the executive producer of the song. His sound in my opinion is unmatched. It's the most tasteful, seedy, funky, sexy and 80's authentic combination out there. I was moved by his initial release "Crush On You"
(the instrumental) to write this song. FEAR trusted my taste, concept and enthusiasm to approach it as a pop record. The result was a song that inspired and excited us both beyond measure. We are so proud of this record and we are so very happy to share it with you!
FEAR and I both have a strong love and respect for Michael Jackson, Thriller and the 80's. It is both our favorite artist and era for music, pop culture and film.
This song and video is a love letter to Michael and everything else that inspired it from Thriller to The Lost Boys to Fright Night to countless others.
With all that said, we needed the film component to make it the full experience we had always envisioned.
The music video was Produced, Photographed, Written, Directed and Edited by
Jimi James.
Without his vision, passion and complete commitment to making this video possible, it just wouldn't have happened. Jimi is a true professional in every sense and the most promising director I've had the chance to work with. This video is his creation, and it brought the song and story to life in a way I never thought could happen. You're the BEST Jimi!
I'd like to thank Sierha Royer and Trenton Day for their killer performances in this video.
Sierha was so professional on set and what she did with the character of Jenny was everything and MORE than what I had hoped for. She is beautiful inside and out and has endless potential.
It was an all hands on deck labor of love to get the production to the finish line, and Trenton stepped up to help. Not to mention he absolutely killed his part as (my favorite character) "The Boy Next Door"!
Thank you to you both !
Thank you to my fellas Ed Davenport and Kellin Hodge! They provided the coolest ride! You guys were such good energy and I'm so thankful you got involved!
Naomi thank you for everything you do for me. Your influence on this project, your support for the video and my dream in general made it all possible. I love you
Cole, Delance and Dad, I love you all so much and I am so honored to have had you be a part of this. It wouldn't have been possible without you guys!
Thanks to Benjamin Woodward for letting us shooting extra long into the night to get the shot! Your location was the perfect fit and you were so welcoming!
Finally a huge thank you to Arempas Venezuelan restaurant and the city of Salt Lake! The owners of Arempas were so kind and let us use their kitchen door to shoot the opening scene. You have to stop by Arempas if you visit SLC! THE BEST Venezuelan food in Utah!
Final Final thank you to my amazing fans and followers! I really hope to give you exciting new work and songs again! I love you all and truth be told....
I got a CRUSH ON YOU!!!
Lyrics
Written by Preston James Knight
Verse 1
Dark is the bar where Jenny talks
and she dances for passers by
and as I sit to watch, she ties her top
Finds the exit to stage right
Now she's headed home I'm right behind
I see you and I want you
Yeah to be alone
But not tonight
Chorus
And I'll strike the fear until you feel it
It's the realest cuz the terror is mine
Is mine, mine
I'll bite your neck until you bleed it
The feeling that you keep inside
Inside, inside
So put down the phone now girl
Baby you're out of time
Cuz I got a crush on you
And I'm gonna scare you right
And well there's nobody home now girl
Nowhere to run or hide
or hide
And I got a crush on you
And I'm gonna feed here tonight
Bridge
And ya taste, taste so good
oh
Just like the way
I knew you would
Tar tar and lust
Verse 2
Love with a stranger is
Late night and dangerous
Pay little mind to the pain in your neck
I like the way you kiss
Girl it's my favorite
Release your life and just give in
Take flight
Narration
The boy next door
From across the hall
Heard a dial tone in a dark apartment
It was off the wall
He went rushing in
found jenny dead
In the living room
Stepping through the blood leading to her neck
It was too late..
He closed the eyes of the girl he liked
And as he pulled her close and said goodbye
She opened them..
To bite!
Final Chorus
And I'll strike the fear until you feel it
It's the realest cuz the terror is mine
Is mine, mine
I'll bite your neck until you bleed it
The feeling that you keep inside
Inside, inside
So put down the phone now girl
Baby you're out of time
Cuz I got a crush on you
And I'm gonna scare you right
And well there's nobody home now girl
