Hey everyone,
For today's music video review, I will be watching Kirby Frost a.k.a KIRBY's new video for a song called 'Timewaster'. She was a contestant on The Voice UK back in 2018 and has released this new song in April 2021.
At the beginning of this music video, I could see that the colour scheme was going to be black and white, and there was a nice introduction piece of just guitar and piano before the lyrics kicked in. KIRBY can be seen wearing a sparkly dress with her brown hair in curls, whilst she also seems to have fresh white acrylic nails on, and a nice silhouette behind her on the wall from where she is standing. The layout of the music video seems very professional and having the chair alone in the room makes it seem like she is performing to the guy who has been added to her list of timewasters. Some of the opening lyrics include the words 'did you ever mean anything you said to me, did ya?' asking the question twice to get confirmation on the words that have been said to her in the past.
She explains that for once in her life she has finally let somebody in, meaning that she may have had trust issues in the past about letting her emotions run freely with people she meets. She added that 'trust goes a long way with me, don't sit there lying that you miss me' which reveals that she's not really asking for a lot in life, but for somebody to just being trustworthy and honest with their feelings towards her, otherwise she's not going to continue having her time wasted. She hinted that this particular guy she was singing about was probably saying the same things to another girl and not being truthful with his own feelings. The spotlight remained on the chair and she continued to look in that direction, whilst also singing the words '...driving around finding girls to love from your app, well f*ck that' which hints that he may be on social media or dating apps, looking for other girls to date or be friendly with and not being honest with those he seems to have already made initial connections with, including KIRBY. She added that 'I know you're lying, you don't miss me' otherwise he wouldn't be on all of these apps looking for other girls.
In the final part of the music video, KIRBY transitions into a white room whilst wearing a black dress, almost the complete opposite from the first 2 and a half minutes of the music video, wearing red lipstick and dancing around without too many other objects or props surrounding her. I think in this part of the video she has realised that she has been treated unfairly but has realised that she is a lot more confident and happy than she thinks, and although this is a bad situation, she will get through it and actually find somebody who can treat her right. She explained that she can now 'see the stupid things that you done to me' which allows the audience to think that she has now come to terms with how much of a time waster this individual may be, and it's better to erase him from her life and focusing on herself for the future, rather than trying to date somebody else, who could be another time waster.
