After seeing Lucy Spraggan wow the X Factor judges and audience with her original song "Last Night" (aka #BeerFear) at the live auctions...
I hit the net in search of more of the Sheffield singer's Kate Nash/Jamie T style. From her website there were the obligatory links to her Facebook & Twitter, along with one to a Soundcloud account showcasing 11 songs. All standard practice for aspiring musical talent in the digital age, as is the presence of an independently produced album available via iTunes & Amazon. In fact everything on display paints a picture of a talented motivated musician, working hard to earn her big break.
Except for one thing... her YouTube page. While it does exist, with 355 subscribers this morning, there are no videos on it. That's unheard of these days for a gigging singer being as it's one of the best ways to build a fan base outside your local area.
Luckily I noticed that while there no videos on her channel there were some on her website, one of which was this slickly produced visual accompaniment to her X Factor audition track.
Why such a well made video would be hidden away from the thousands of prospective new fans is something of a mystery. Is it Lucy's decision or some restriction imposed by X Factor?
While we wait to find out, here's another video from her website in which she collaborates with J-Mac.
