Who ?- Agyness Deyn May 15th, 2008
So this is all probably old news to everyone reading this but, for those of you who are unaware, the video above is British supermodel Agyness Deyn's musical debut. Not content with being just another pretty face, I suppose, Aggy is branching out. She seems to be following the supermodel career trajectory pretty closely, (remember Naomi Campbell also attempted a musical career) and has evolved from designer darling to part-time designer herself (she makes jewelry), and is now attempting to make a go at being a hipster band front-woman. But you know what? I don't mind her attempting. She's actually not that band, and I've heard way worse from "legit" artists, and let's be honest, she's no where near legit, yet. But the single "Who" by Five O'Clock Heroes featuring Miss Deyn is not half bad, in fact if this were playing in a club somewhere or at a friend's house party I would dance. Yes, its a little Clash meets The Police, but it sounds sincere and the lead male vocals, Antony Ellis, really compliments Agyness' girly sound. Anyways, she's started her own band with friends Alanna Merson and Jackson Pollis and has dubbed it Lucky Knitwear. They've already recorded a few tracks, with interesting titles such as "Yellow Tights" and less interesting ones like "Hotel." Agyness Deyn is one of my favourite models so this post may be very biased but, I am definitely interested in seeing what she will create in the future and "Who" is not a terrible start. Anyways enjoy the video!
