While most of us may have been waiting for Santa at the strike of midnight, Cheryl Cole had other things on her mind, as she gets her swagger on in the brand-new music video for her track, "Ghetto Baby," the eighth song from Cheryl's latest third solo album, "A Million Lights." Released the video via The Hunger magazine as a extra Christmas Day treat for fans via Twitter, Cheryl struts and dances like there's no tomorrow in this rather-cheap, but good-nevertheless 90s style clip.
This urban ballad "Ghetto Baby," is an R&B song influenced by synthpop and trip hop which was penned by American singer Lana Del Rey with Roy Kerr and Anu Pillai and produced by Kid Gloves. The Girls Aloud singer is a big fan of the "Video Games"singer and was interested to learn there were plenty of songs penned by her that she wasn't planning on recording herself. Speaking to Capital FM, Cheryl explained how she got to know Del Rey: "I noticed Lana about a year ago," she said. I was hearing these songs that were really fresh to my ear and amazing and I asked the guy who she was and he said, 'Watch out for her, it's a girl called Lana Del Rey'." She continued: "It all happened really organically just like that. And then 'Video Games' came out and I fell in love with her as an artist as well."
Cheryl steams up the heat for her new promo, which was directed by celebrity fashion photographer John Rankin Waddell and also features her dancer boyfriend Tre Holloway, as we see Cheryl seduces the camera with her sexy move and gets touchy feely with her dancer beau, while executing some hard, urban choreography that was utilized during her recent "A Million Lights" tour. "I love working with @rankinphoto so much that I did this exclusively for him," the 29-year-old British songstress said about the music video's director/fashion photographer.
The clip is a simple photoshoot-style clip with plenty of street dance and glamour shots. We already knew that the Almighty Aloud temptress can fight for our love with just a single glance–this isn’t the first time Cheryl's writhed around sexily for Rankin, after all. But this time around, she's serving up some of her most ferocious street dance/krumping to boot. Passions of Girls Aloud flashbacks galore!
