March 3, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment
The Ting Tings, with their signature brand of sound that seems to resemble an eclectic mix of Brit pop and alternative tunes of Franz Ferdinand and Portishead, is out to conquer the world not only with their songs, but with their free-spirited take on the music industry. Coming from different bands, this is not a surprise at all. The different influences that the duo has drove them to pursue music of their own.
Not wanting to be typecast as another British pop band, the Ting Tings worked on the sound they want to create. Instead of copying what is already in out there in the highly commercialized world of pop, this indie pop band decided to listen to their own musical tastes and concocted a flavor that suits their style, or at least would keep them playing as a band. Katie’s vocals and Jules’ uncanny ear for beats conglomerated to form the best British act to ever hit 2008.
The Ting Tings smash hit album, We Started Nothing quickly became a hit among radio stations in England. Soon enough, the infectious tunes and vocals of Katie White and Jules de Martino caught the attention of huge music label, Columbia Records. They were signed with the said label, which paved the way for the Ting Tings lyrics and musings to hit other parts of the world, including the sought after market in the US. Because of this, they were featured in famous TV series like Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill. The success went rolling and led to the release of the much anticipated Ting Tings’ videos.
They have released 3 music videos for songs, That’s Not My Name, Shut Up and Let Me Go, and Great DJ. All of these videos channel the fun and carefree approach of the duo when it comes to their music. The colorful and psychedelic style of their videos truly captures the essence of their signature beats and lyrics—unbridled and out-of-the-ordinary.
These Ting Tings videos have already received nominations from Video Music Awards in the US and Europe. Because of these, the songs from their debut album are receiving generous airplays all over the world and acclaims from critics and fans alike.
The band is currently producing a video for their next single, Be the One. The song is already making a buzz in radios and it is sure to make a huge hype in the airwaves upon the release of its music video. The video is said to follow the same pattern as videos they’ve produced in the past. The Ting Tings videos, with their own brand of spunk, are sure to captivate more fans worldwide.
