Let me clear something up...

So, some of you might have seen (and should have seen) the making of One Person Romance. The actual music video is probably going to be released this week. Now, to the casual observer, it may seem like a John Mayer hate video. This was NOT my intention. The song began while on the 6 train about a month ago. I starting making up crazy lyrics to Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance. It began with “don’t want your lovin’ cuz I got my own hand…” The rest is history. It developed more than I ever thought it would. People heard me working on it. I threatened to sing it. People were onboard.

I enlisted the help of the ever so talented Eleni Vorvolakos to make this a reality. I figured we would sing it and the video would be mostly of the two of us sitting there and giggling. Nope. Once the creative juices started flowing we had an idea. During our break between recording and filming we ran into Jackson Church….

Now, anyone who knows me knows that I cannot stand John Mayer. I’m not sure what it is about him but he makes me shutter. It may be the ridiculous faces he makes while playing guitar. Or the repetitiveness of his lyrics. Or the douchy things he says in interviews and while on stage. Your choice. I am completely aware that if the time ever came when Mayer hit on me in a bar, I would probably end up sleeping with him. The thought of catching an STD does loom over my conscience but I’m ok with admitting that I would. I’m also okay with admitting that he is a very good guitarist. That, I will give him. But someone needs to muzzle that boy.

Anyway…so, back to Jackson. Oddly resembled Mayer. I told him so. Then I got an idea. What if Mayer made a cameo in the video as a creepy man with a guitar…which led into him being my co-star. As the night progressed the ideas became larger and crazier than I could ever imagine. Eleni took the video in all sorts of directions and proved to be not only a great singer/songwriter but also a great director and video editor as well.

So, enjoy the teaser. The video’s gonna blow your mind. And if you know John Mayer, send him my love…and my number.
