Maybe you know Ashley Roberts from eating a camel's wang with some camembert on British reality shows "I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here." Perhaps you know her as second lead vocalist of the modern burlesque group and dance ensemble The Pussycat Dolls, split in 2010. "After The Pussycat Dolls, I sat at home for three years," she admitted to British Very magazine why she wanted to be in the music industry. "I went on a spiritual journey to get that passion back again because I was a little burnt out after being on the road for seven and a half years. I just needed to remember why I got into this."
Roberts is now back and admits it was hard to motivate herself at first and she's not had much time for romance, but the 32-year-old knows just what she's after. It doesn't really matter how you first came across Roberts, the point is that she is about to embark on a pretty exciting solo adventure and the first official solo single to be lifted from her upcoming debut solo album is called "Clockwork," and the visual for the powerful ballad turns out to be a pretty steamy, as she gets intimate with a male lover in a bedroom.
"Clockwork" is the typical, somber love song, as Roberts sings of a relationship that she keeps putting her energy into even though it has clearly run its course. "I love how you survive when you're losing a fight, there's no needs, no regrets, we don't play to rewind," she beautifully sings. "'Clockwork' represents a relationship that had its moment and when it did it was fireworks," the former Pussycat Doll explained. "But now it's fizzled out and you want to go back for more fireworks even though it's done. It's dangerous and exciting but may leave you a little scarred. We've all had one of those."
The artsy accompanying music video showcases the destruction of a once happy relationship, and yes, there are clocks shown throughout. "The video shoot location was so beautiful, this big old country mansion, lots of room for us to have fun." Roberts said about video: "The 'Clockwork' video's got everything; a hot guy, bedroom scene, burning fire and a pretty dope '70s car." While things start off hot and strong, it all ends up going up in flames, literally. The video is a simple, dramatic companion piece with a bit of edge to support the proper soaring ballad.
