It had to have elements of the awkward reality of being a teen! Cody Molko brings so much sweetness and humour to the part and fits perfectly into the 90s inspired film set we created.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To create the 90s tone, Kerri managed to dig up genuine gear and knick-knacks from her own \u2018archive\u2019,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cCody\u2019s bedroom in the video is made up entirely of things from my childhood that I found in my parent\u2019s loft! The box TV, the board games &#8211; Jumanji, Mouse Trap, the Furby, the Daffy Duck statue all come straight from my bedroom circa 1998.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The final piece of the visual puzzle was needed for one of the most important establishing shots of Cody\u2019s character,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cOriginally we had the kissing scene from\u00a0Quadrophenia\u00a0playing on the VCR. However after a struggle to get the rights to show the movie, we had to do some special effects and replace the kiss with another, which ended up being one from the original A Star Is Born movie from the 30s. I actually love the kiss replacement &#8211; it\u2019s a very romantic one!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The music came together in what Kerri describes as \u201cjamming until we found a great groove that felt sentimental but fresh\u201d. Originally written solo on acoustic guitar, the song lost none of its tongue-in-cheek Dolly Parton-esque bounce when it was arranged with heavy metal producer Machine (Lamb Of God, Clutch, Fallout Boy) in Austin, Texas alongside a group of superb session musicians. Kerri recalls the recording process as,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cmy favourite song on the album to record. It\u2019s just a bit of a party! I remember being so excited when we captured those opening and ending piano twinkles &#8211; they just add that movie magic feel.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2018Kissing Fools\u2019 is the third song to be taken from Kerri\u2019s forthcoming album titled \u2018Chasing Aeroplanes\u2019, a genre bending record that Kerri worked on with the very unlikely producer Machine, who is known as the producer for some of the best albums by heavy hitters in metal. It marks a defining point in her career where she embraces rock sensibilities in her Americana songwriting, as well as lyrically addressing reaching what some may consider \u2018settling down\u2019 age, and the ludicrous expectations of women to have kids or hit pause on their careers at this time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">An incredible live performer with a growing reputation, 2019 saw Kerri support a number of legendary artists at incredible venues including Keith Urban in London (where she additionally joined him on stage to sing Carrie Underwood\u2019s vocal parts from his 2016 hit single \u2018The Fighter\u2019) and as a special guest for Joe Jackson at The Palladium. Summer 2019 saw her perform a mix of solo and full band shows at Glastonbury Festival, Country2Country, British Summer Time (with Celine Dion), Kew The Music and Cambridge Folk Festival, and she recently performed at BBC Radio Scotland\u2019s inaugural Singer\/Songwriter Awards 2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Kerri\u2019s self-released debut single \u2018Long Way Home\u2019, produced by Embrace\u2019s Richard McNamara, was playlisted by Radio 2, and was followed by constant touring of the UK and Europe for two years, including supports for Ward Thomas, Nina Nesbitt and Mike &amp; The Mechanics. Kerri scored another radio hit with \u2018The Wild\u2019 and a dance remix of her song \u2018You\u2019 reached No.1 on Hype Machine, amassing millions of streams. Kerri also had the honour of joining Embrace on stage at Cardiff\u2019s Millennium Stadium, opening for Coldplay on consecutive nights.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now signed to Cooking Vinyl (Lissie, Passenger, Nina Nesbitt, Will Young, Deap Lips, Fantastic Negrito, The Darkness &amp; more), Kerri will release her debut album in 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Singer-songwriter Kerri Watt releases her new single \u2018Kissing Fools\u2019 today, Valentine\u2019s Day, February 14th 2020, alongside a video featuring Cody Molko (School Of Rock).
