Orianthi has released a new music video for the song "Courage," from the Australian singer songwriter's recent release "Believe (II)," which has been in stores since June this year. The 25-year-old guitar virtuoso, who found fame in Michael Jackson's "This Is It," wears her chef hat every day to develop dishes for her pomeranian and bichon, who have been in her life for three years.Following the success of high-energy singles "According to You" and "Shut Up and Kiss Me," Orianthi showcases her softer side with her new single "Courage," featuring Lacey Mosley from the band Flyleaf. Grab the track, which features yet another stand-out guitar solo. "'Courage' is one of my favorite songs to sing live... It's very spiritual and it takes you to a colorful place," she says. "I had a great time making the video with Lacey Mosley. I love the setting and the colors that were used in this clip - very earthy and exactly the way I envisioned the video for this tune to be," Orianthi commented.
The video featuring the Aussie guitarist/singer sharing screen with her featured great guest appearance and vocals by Flyleaf's leading lady Lacey. Together, the two ladies drive in a step van and travel across the country. When asked in a recent interview how her collaboration with Orianthi came about, Lacey said, "It's definitely different from our style. When 'Courage' came via email to me, I was thinking about this. The lyrics of the song straight-up said, 'Courage is when you're in pain and you keep on living anyway.' I was like, 'This is important to do.' So I did it. It was fun working with Orianthi. She's a really cool girl, and she has a great voice. When we were in between takes, she was sitting there with her guitar shredding for fun and talking to me at the same time [Laughs]. She's really talented!"
Orianthi is an absolute guitar sensation and has been labeled a prodigy. In the music industry she might be referred to as a "shredder." At 25 years old, Orianthi has already experienced what most aspiring musicians only dream of. She's opened for her hero (Steve Vai), backed an Idol (Carrie Underwood), traded solos with a legend (Carlos Santana) and shared the stage with the King of Pop (Michael Jackson). What's left to conquer? The world stage, for one, and this guitar wunderkind has her sights clearly set on the road ahead. Orianthi packs modern girl-power punch into every turn of phrase, but it's the shredding that takes her brand of rock to an entirely new level. The result: a thunderous, hook and riff driven debut that sounds larger than life. If, for a moment, you've thought the music world could use another taste of The Runaways' Joan Jett, let us introduce you to Orianthi.
