2. About the track ‘Wrong Way’ by Yakul
• Released August 20, 2021
• The song is by a band called ‘Yakul’ from Brighton composed of
James Berkley (vocals/keys), Tom Caldwell-Nichols (bass), Sam
Hughes (drums), and newest member Leo Utton (guitar)
3. The Meaning
• The song is about a boy who falls in love with a girl in the ‘Wrong
Way’
• He talks about how he’s ‘taking himself back’ and how he was
treated like a ‘fool’ even when she tried to approach him again
4. The genre
• ‘Wrong Way’ has a rich sound that combines jazz infused neo-soul
with smooth vocals
• Instruments: vocals, bass, keyboard, drums, guitar
5. The idea (Synopsis)
• We thought of an idea of there being a band with 3 boys ( a main
singer and backup vocalists) and a girl on keyboard
• All the members are practicing in a garage/studio
• Another scene, they would be chasing the girl through different
rooms/doors/objects but keep going the ‘Wrong Way’ however
they’re all trying to win the girls heart but all keep going the ‘Wrong
Way’
• There would be goofy shots of the band mate and them all playing
around
7. Influences
• Main influences were EasyLife and typical British instrumental boy
bands like McFly, The Wanted, One Direction, Take That, Busted as
well 90 themed boy bands.
8. The cast (Who do you hope will be involved in your production?)
The band:
• Oscar (A1) – main singer
• Joel Baine (A2) – guitar, sub-singer
• Bashy Slayter (A2) – guitar, sub-singer
• Alice Silver (A1) – keyboard
• Fin JB (A1) – guitar
The girl:
• Fluer Messi
• Hollie Potter
• Leni Zieglemier
9. Performance (How many performers? Any instruments)
• How are you going to develop the star persona? How will you
represent your artist?
• The persona would be quite tom-boyish, retro/vintage.
• We would represent this through social media such as Instagram,
YouTube and SnapChat as well as TikTok which has become a great
place for independent or undiscovered artists to showcase their skills
10. Narrative (How are you telling a narrative? Story? Thematically?)
• The narrative would follow the 3 boys and the girl band members
who are all trying to win over the same girl. However, after all the
boys effort the girl band member is the one who wins her over
making the narrative almost comical.
