Another new Gabriella Cilmi video

  • July 9, 2008
  • Popjustice

It's funny to think that if Gabriella Cilmi had launched her career with her new single 'Save The Lies' instead of 'Sweet About Me' she would have totally avoided the whole 'Winehousealike' accus­a­tions and would have simply been accepted as a quite good new pop singer with a quite good new single.

Then again, being compared to Amy Winehouse is probably only a negative thing in and around the media, and when it comes to people who actually buy the majority of the records you see in the charts the idea that someone is a bit like one of the biggest artists in British pop isn't exactly a bad thing.

Anyway as well as sounding quite different from 'Sweet About Me' 'Save The Lies' comes with a video which is totally not boring (unlike the 'Sweet About Me' video which was so tedious that our borin­gometer exploded and is still awaiting repair).

Warning: contains images of a Newton Faulkner lookalike nature.
