RONAN PARKE, “Defined”
I just had a feeling after watching the preview for “Defined” last month that there is something big brewing very quietly here. “Defined” is a beautiful and powerful song sung by 15 year old UK singer Ronan Parke, whose British audiences will know from appearing as an outstanding 12 year old contestant on X Factor. Ronan has developed into quite a vocalist – I can picture him performing smoky cabaret as an adult, but that’s for another conversation. His assured vocal blends so well with the storyboard about bullying, and definitely hits every emotional peg possible without being maudlin. “Defined” also has the bonus of a co-writer in pop/R&B singer Pierre Lewis, who is well known to readers of this blog. The video was made in conjunction with Kidscape, which is a charity that prevents bullying and protects children. “Defined” is such a winner!! Get it on iTunes.
