Amelia Lily is hoping to continue the success and shows off her powerful vocal talents, some fierce attitude and a new grunge-inspired look in the club themed video for her explosive dance-pop single, "Shut Up (And Give Me Whatever You Got)," the official second cut from the X Factor UK alumnus' forthcoming major label untitled debut album. The track, will be released in January 13th before returning with her debut solo album later in 2013, is also reportedly used in 2008 comic book film, "The Dark Night."
Another slice of the infectious electro, "Shut Up" may not be as compelling or a timeless pop hit as her successful debut "You Bring Me Joy," which gave the 18-year-old British pop singer her first chart hit over the summer, but Lily has certainly proved she's no one-hit wonder with the premiere of her new Xenomania-produced dancefloor-filler "Shut Up." Xenomania are obviously digging Lily as they're giving her some banging' dance beats! We find the tempo rather plodding to be honest, but perhaps it's a grower.
The down-beat electro backdrop is saturated in attitude. Despite the considerably laid-back beat, Lily commands attention with her powerful vocals. Between belting out the massive bridge - potentially even more memorable than the actual chorus - there remain plenty of sing-a-long moments, particularly the middle eight in which she sounds a tad like Katy Perry. Like her debut, Lily should soar to similar heights with this impressive sophomore effort. Formed around her definitive, punchy delivery, there isn't much more Lily could have done to fulfill her side of the bargain.
Shot it in East London where a scene from "The Dark Knight" was filmed, the new clip is styled with a kind of rock chick look, moving away from the Hollywood/electro dancey vibe of "You Bring Me Joy." It shows the X Factor runner up looking lost while wandering in a type of maze, entering at a dark, underground club and performing a gig, singing a pretty catch pop-rock riff with a band in front of a glass-walled corridor backed by flashing lights. "There is a lot more attitude in there and it's a lot darker," Lily explained. "The video is completely different to the first one and a lot of it was all my ideas so I'm excited."
