VANITY & THE ROCKERS Written by: Stephanie Fierce, Vanity, Johnny Johnson Produced by: Stephanie Fierce Instrumentation by: The Rockers Background & Lyrical Content "Gangstar" feat. Vanity & The Rockers is a song recorded by American recording artist Stephanie Fierce for independent release. It was entirely written by Stephanie Fierce, Vanity and Johnny Johnson. The song however was produced by Stephanie Fierce. The song is to contain influences of dance-pop and disco music. Overall "Gangstar" is an uptempo R&B and funk song, in which Stephanie Fierce demonstrates guttural-husky vocals while using her whistle register. Having a born retro nature, the song is built on a 1980s-inspired dance beat but has an overall contemporary treatment, and is instrumentally driven with old school synthesizers, drum kits, electric guitars, and horns. The overall feeling of the song is described as "uplifting" and "flashback like" but groovy enough to dance to. "I want people to have a song for the summer, but a song that has a message than can uplift people. While someone may be having the time of their life, someone out there is feeling depressed and down and this song will hopefully cheer them up. I personally wanted some of my closest friends to be on the record so I asked Vanity and The Rockers and they gladly joined. It's very exciting stuff"- Stephanie Fierce The song will be released to mainstream radio and digital outlets on May 27, 2012. A music video will be shot in the matter of three consecutive days starting May 22, 2012 and is directed by Stephanie Fierce. Vanity and The Rockers all make an appearance in the video. Cameos are made by "Rakoon", "Helle" and "Nicolas Brown". The song and will be used for the "Diary of a Pop Sinner" film coming out in the fall. Composition The song begins with a 80's themed synthesizer being played, followed by an old school drum kit and a wailing guitar teasing the listener. Then with all the instruments together the song continues full force with Stephanie Fierce's guttural vocals following behind with her opening verse. The lyrics dedicate an uplifting message to the decades of 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's. After verse one, the instrumentation which is provided by "The Rockers", develops even further when horns join in and the chorus which is sung by Stephanie Fierce kicks in. Once Vanity's verse begins, the instrumentation continues in repetition but this time with more room for listener's feedback. In Vanity's verse, she also dedicates an uplifting message, but this time to freaky people, fashion victims, pregnant women, and homosexual; all which reflect to her personal life, as well as the life of Stephanie Fierce. Her vocals could be described as passionate and forceful; making Vanity's attempt at R&B vocalization a success. Once the chorus comes to a repeat, the instrumentation grows even more present whilst Stephanie Fierce vocal range grows to full force, giving the listeners a climax feel. This puts emphasis on the lyrics and gives listeners the idea of hope. The sound settles a bit when Johnny's verse comes in for the bridge. In his verse, Johnny talks about the hardships of getting to the top and how people will often mistaken it without hard work. his verse is then followed by a spicy electric guitar lick as all vocalist join together as a chorus group and sing the chorus finale. During this portion, Stephanie Fierce's background vocals are layered, in which her vocal range propels beyond measure on her "Ohhhhhh's". All of this leading to the outro where Stephanie Fierce harmonizes her own voice in a soprano form. The song ends with with a wailing guitar exiting out as laughter and the following is heard from Vanity: "That freakin rocked sis" Lyrics Stephanie Fierce: "This is for us twenty somethings Time really moves fast, we were just sixteen This is for them thirty somethings That didn't turn out exactly how your mom and dad wanted you to be This is for them forty somethings Well raise up them cheecks and laugh like a motherfucker This is for them fifty something Hey, you're halfway there, so baby raise them hands Mom passed, dad tried to hide the world Said this industry is just too much for a little girl Eyes wide open, can't you see I had my first deal by the age of seventeen (Who!)

Vanity & The Rockers (Music Video) Background Information: On May 21, 2012, fans were surprised when Fierce announced that a music video for new song "Ganstar" will be filmed in the next couple of days. The project which was in the works for over a month also came a surprise because it was unveiled that Steph will be going on a music "hiatus". However, what fans weren't informed is that there was still one project underway and that the hiatus itself wouldn't happen until July. Directed by Stephanie Fierce and Melina Matsoukas, the music video was filmed in a private locations and studios of New York City. The project was divided into three consecutive days of shooting. "I think the challenge in shooting this music video was that we we had to be very discreet despite the fact that I was already informing the fans that shooting was taking place. However, the lovely thing about being discreet, is that you get a chance to be someone else for a day (laughs) so it all worked out for me. We were having so much fun on set, it almost didn't feel like work. I think I'm in a positive sort of setting and that's what I need. I need to look at my life and say that I've made it and while I'm not perfect, I'm someone who's made a difference. I think that's what the music video represents. I think this opens up thee idea that in the future when I make a musical comeback I will be someone much more evolved and I will work on something that will change music. Because I believe that reinventing yourself is important, cause life itself will reinvent you". - Stephanie Fierce On Day 1 (May 22, 2012) of shooting, Stephanie Fierce informed her fans via her blog that she would be shooting flashback scenes for the music video. According to a picture released on the blog, one of the flashback scenes involves Stephanie Fierce and her current fiance "Nicolas Brown". On Day 2 (May 23, 2012), Stephanie Fierce unveiled on her blog that she was shooting her "dance" scenes, but other things were kept very discreet. A picture of massage rooms were posted on her website after a day of what was considered "non-stop" dancing. On Day 3 (May 24, 2012), it was unveiled that Vanity and The Rockers were shooting their scenes. A picture of Vanity and a couple of back up dancers were shown in the setting of a New York styled bridge. Stephanie Fierce served as Director for all three days of shooting. After Day 3, shooting wrapped and Steph announced that she will try to get the video out to fans by next week. The project is also set feature cameos/appearances by Cassie Bitch, Nicolas Brown, Rakoon,and Helle.

Most of the lyrics are actually taken from the song, cause I'm in a horrible "writers block". But I altered them to fit Stephanie Fierce's style. Overall, I think it was fun to write :)

Cassie Bich) The following sentence is projected on a old fashion projection screen in hilarity of Cassie calling Steph an "old hag": "Premiering from the 18th Century"......... which is then interrupted by the sound and visual of static across the screen as a confident and casually dressed Cassie is seen on the set of a News room. Cassie: HA! Bet you were expecteting to see the old hag in her latest skanky grandmother dress weren't you! Yes, we all know who I'm talking about you nincompoops! I'm talking about the vintage and not so Fierce nomad Stephanie. As if her first name wasn't annoying enough. Well anyways, I'm here to report that the "singer", put that in quotations Bob (Camera man mouths "Who's Bob"?), is fucking done! She's over. So all you thousands..... Camera Man #1: Millions (camera man coughs out sounding uninterested) Cassie: Millions, right (Cassie says sarcastically while giving the camera man a dirty look) can, can, can um.....move the fuck on and be hip once again. Camera Man #2: No Cassie..... tell them what's really happening. Cassie: (sighs)...................Fine! (Says the following fast without desire) I'm here to say tha her new music video premieries this fucking friday. (She then says the following as she couldn't help it) So Rebecca Black can finally have competition. Camera man #1 & #2: (Yell in frustration) CASSIE!!!! Cassie Bitch: (sighs) FINE! I'll be nice to..... (Camera man look hard at Cassie as the following forces out of her mouth).....to 'it' . But only because her team is paying me to do this stupid add. The following is then projected on a old fashion projection screen: New Music Video "Gangstar" feat. Vanity & The Rockers Premieres June 1, 2012 During this, Cassie Bitch's voice could be heard in the background saying the following: "This is why we could never afford expensive lights and cameras cause you stupid knuckle heads always have to ruin everything"
