On
May 4, 2018, Jamie
McDell independently-released
Extraordinary Girl,
a record celebrating her musical roots and the sounds of her upbringing.
The project came together between Auckland, New Zealand and Nashville,
Tennessee where she recorded the tracks with Australian award-winner producer Nash Chambers.
Today, she shares a video for a track off the album,
Running Now premiered
by Australia's
Joelene; The
Country Music Blog. Jamie explains the concept behind the
video,
"This
track came out of me like a break up song (but I've been with my partner for a
successful four years) for me personally it was derived from some of the
experiences I'd had leading up to separating with my label and the liberation
of diving into the independent world. It made sense to me to mirror some form
of breaking free in the video, also it turns out I have a new hobby; line
dancing. I saw a bit of it when I was in Nashville so decided to take a few
classes when I came home. I suppose it's not a very 'modern' style of dance
amongst my generation but I like that it's about focus and coming full circle.
I use solitude, an 80s Alfa Romeo and nature to find contentment in this
video." Watch the official video below.
