Flaminia Ianno and Andrea De Angelis, two of the professional dancers affected by loss of work, are featured in the video for \u2018My Cherie Amour\u2019, which is set in sunny Rome.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI grew up singing My Cherie Amour as a young girl. It is one of my all-time favorite songs and I loved the idea of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">being <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a My Cherie Amour one day,\u201d &#8211; Zoe Scott<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This personal connection to the song is something which is apparent in Scott\u2019s delivery, every line sung with care and feeling. The reworking of the song is an inspired choice, as if Stevie was always supposed to be a jazzy number.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the cinematic-style opening, to the very end, the connection between the two dancers in the video is palpable and serves the song well, adding to the romance and serenity of the story. The choreography is intercut with shots of the couple wandering the streets of Rome in the sunshine. The effect is a song which is fully realised, the visual elements lining up perfectly with the song itself to create a triumphant release from Ms. Scott.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rCQZKMm-tbs?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taken from her 2020 album, Shades of Love, \u2018My Cherie Amour\u2019 is Zoe Scott\u2019s take on the Stevie Wonder classic, released just in time for Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":48,"featured_media":67746,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7,9,21453,21445,21446],"tags":[26945,370,18471,26119,4597,81,26099],"class_list":["post-67745","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","category-new-releases","category-new-singles","category-reviews","category-single-reviews","tag-my-cherie-amour","tag-new-single","tag-polly-havelock","tag-shades-of-love","tag-valentines-day","tag-video","tag-zoe-scott"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-hCF","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":79096,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2022\/12\/the-essential-advent-calendar-december-18-uk-pop-artist-lauren-amour-releases-christmas-song-please-santa\/","url_meta":{"origin":67745,"position":0},"title":"The Essential Advent Calendar: December 18 &#8211; UK Pop Artist Lauren Amour Releases Christmas Song, &#8216;Please Santa&#8217;","author":"Essentially Pop","date":"18\/12\/2022","format":false,"excerpt":"'Please Santa' is the new single from Lauren Amour, and it's behind the 18th door of the 2022 Essential Advent Calendar.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Christmas&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Christmas","link":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/category\/archived-categories\/christmas\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/advent-calendar-18.png?fit=1200%2C953&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/advent-calendar-18.png?fit=1200%2C953&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/advent-calendar-18.png?fit=1200%2C953&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/advent-calendar-18.png?fit=1200%2C953&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/advent-calendar-18.png?fit=1200%2C953&ssl=1&resize=1050%2C600 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":49277,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2019\/04\/billboard-1-songwriter-and-emerging-artist-cherie-oakley-releases-debut-single-work-it\/","url_meta":{"origin":67745,"position":1},"title":"Billboard #1 Songwriter and Emerging Artist Cherie Oakley Releases Debut Single \u201cWork It\u201d","author":"Essentially Pop","date":"20\/04\/2019","format":false,"excerpt":"Cherie Oakley is taking the country music world by storm.
