Artist's that relate to Emine's genre & audience

Emine is a distinctive performer she can be compared to the modern day singing Audrey Hepburn. However though she does don musical attributes that do remind me of some previous artists back in the day. To think of these artists was not easy I had to do a great deal of research because when group 11 created Emine we didnt think of having her like any bubble gum replica of what is in the industry today. We created an artist that 'did her' and represented what she stands for: individualism. Emine is an artist that is very pragmatic and adaptable, this allows her to attract a wide market, whether it be an older person or teenager. Emine in her videos would always add that extra something that would allow the audience to conncet with her. For example her style, her song choice and the kinds of people she puts in her videos range from different age, race and cultural background.
This is very much like the artist Florence Welch in terms of her style and music choice i'd say she is in many ways comparable to our Emine Parker. Florence Welch is an incredibly talented Brit who always tends to showcase the Brit within her in her uniquely elegant and classy videos this is very much like our Emine Parker who seeks to not be seen as an sex icon but an talented and stylish perfomer. An artist that represents Emine's musical genre clearly though would be Rebecca Ferguson. Rebecca Ferguson holds everything that I believe Emine should look like and sound like. Rebecca Ferguson has this demure style about her that screams class and elegance something that I felt I important for Emine to have as an secure identity. The difference between the two though that leaves Emine winning above is the fact that Emine struggled for her recognition and refused to ever appear on any TV talent comps, something that some consider as a cheap ticket to stardom.




However though, the artist of all time that reflects upon Emine's genre and audience target would be....

ROBERTA FLACK!


Like a blast of silky-smooth, freshly-crisp air, Flack lowered the temperature a few degrees with her creamy blend of R&B, this is the genre that Emine seeks to represent.
The prime exhibit of Flack’s ultra-cool charm can be found on the killer tune that won the Grammy Award in 1973 for Record of the Year – the timeless “Killing Me Softly with His Song.”
The elegant lady of soul was also a worthy foil for the late, great Donny Hathaway, and the two teamed up for a number of memorable performances, with maybe the ultimate being “The Closer I Get to You.”
