New and Notable: Lucy Schwartz

Pop singer Lucy Schwartz released her Help Me! Help Me! CD on her own label last month. As if that isn’t ambitious enough, Schwartz made all the props, puppets, costumes, and choreography for the music video for title track herself. It was directed by her brother, Ian Schwartz, and shot in the family home.

Schwartz proves that all that is needed is talent and creativity to come up with a good music video. And you have to love the cover art for the EP. It makes me think of Amy Winehouse waking up after passing out in a dollar store.
