Jealousy's a killer- which comes across very clearly in the new single,
‘Hurting Me,’ by Family Love- ft. Winsome Moncrieffe-Mitchell with Lloyd Heron
on drums. ‘Hurting Me’ is a great little Lover's Rock song, written and
produced by Lloyd Heron and released on the Urban Delight Ent label. It tells a
sad yet familiar story backed by a joyful beat that says, ‘keep listening to
me!’ The clever combination of story- telling, emotional release and Winsome’s
sweet voice set against Errol Black Steel’s backing vocals make this single a
joy to listen to; clearly ‘Hurting Me’ is ideal for both club and radio play-
not to mention your personal music collection!
It is
very refreshing to hear excellent clear vocals that are not overly embellished-
a little scarce in today’s musical climate. Likewise, the lyrics are simple giving a great message for women who contend with jealous men- ‘You’re only
hurting me- but I’m not giving in!’
The video, by Jimmy Chiba of Chiba Visuals, is set in the City of London and
captures this major misunderstanding brilliantly- best of all it is not
over-acted. The shift from 'argument' to the nightclub scene emphasizes that both
the show and life must go on.
How
this song relates to society:
Clearly
this video is a take on an ongoing problematic relationship and we have no idea
how many jealous episodes there have been or how many times this guy has packed
his bags! Does he usually come back after a couple of days? How will she react?
From the video we imagine that all will be well again temporarily as the two
appear to reconcile briefly in the club, however it is very hard living with a
jealous partner. Jealousy is just as likely to be a feminine trait and quite
often the cheating partner has a tendency to control the innocent partner
through false allegations. Clearly in the video all Winsome wants is a straight
forward discussion, an opportunity to explain- maybe later! People in a
relationship like this need a strong bond of love and mega patience if their relationship is to stand a chance of surviving on an equal footing. Sadly, people often
pander to their partners every whim in order to live in peace and quiet- an
illusion. This is why it is good to see Winsome giving a clear message by taking
a strong stance in the video instead of going after her man.
