STEPHANIE FIERCE
NEW SINGLE & VIDEO!
NEXT SINGLE: ELECTRIC GUITAR VIRGIN Written and produced by Stephanie Fierce
Genre: Alternative Rock, Minimal Trance, Classical Crossover Song Background and Lyrics
During her younger years, Stephanie Fierce never picked up a guitar. Steph's parents never introduced her to rock music, and were against it.
"I wish I would of had the appreciation I have for rock music today when I was younger. Growing up, my parents thought me that rock music is from the devil and should never be played. They always made fun of the rock artists and judged their appearance. Latinos are thought to not listen to it. During those times, we were thought that in order to have "Latino pride" we must listen to Latin music. It was part of the Hispanic movement. But I always had a heart for rock music and it's the reason why I was always felt like there was something missing." After the release of “Dying in the Airwaves” and making her guitar playing debut, Stephanie Fierce was inspired to write a song about guitars and her new found love freedom with them. After a having a discussion and discussing guitars with legendary guitarist Ryan Ross Hernadez, Stephanie Fierce challenged herself to compose yet another guitar driven song.
“I didn’t want the song to be this typical “rock” song with a guitar solo. So I added a classical crossover section towards the end, where everything settles down. That was bound to happen, anyway. As I’ve said I put boundaries, I didn’t want the song to turn the song into something it was not meant to be or something that didn’t represent me. Very complex to put it all together, but it worked.” The song’s lyric are simple word play with virginity and guitar playing.
Production and Composition
"Electric Guitar Virgin", is the only song of two that does not include the “Fierce Atmosphere” in the instrumentation. The song features an electronica based composition. The elctronica based composition is made of amen-break like build up, that converted to a trance like appeal. A forceful instrumentation of a brawling guitar with driven bass, keyboards is heard. They sound a bit psychedelic. The song also pays homage to “Electric Club”, mimicking its heavy bass line. The song starts off with a static like beat classified in the dubstep genre, however that does not continue throughout the song. Once the chorus kicks in, the electric guitar dominates the overall sound leading up the guitar solo. The guitar solo mimics the chorus with emphasis and acts as a bridge. Due to Steph’s low experience with guitar solos, it’s composed to mimic the chorus. Once the guitar solo is finished, the track goes into this trance fusion like break, leading up to a classical music crossover section above a trip hop influenced beat. Stephanie Fierce arranged the beats with pre-recorded classical pieces. The classical crossover section features a striking violin that builds up to a non-stop 16 second vocal belt, making it the second vocal acrobatic done in “Free”. The song then proceeds with the trip–hop beat while slowly fading out. While slowly fading out, you can hear distinctive melancholic noise that echoes created by a guitar pedal.
Vocals are laid back through most of the song and the lyrics are purposely sung as if Stephanie was reading them out. She almost sounds as if she’s under control and the soprano side is more present. Stephanie Fierce’s vocal ranges from D3- E6 in her 16 second vocal belt, which is more than outstanding. Overall, “Electric Guitar Virgin” was recorded, edited, mixed by Stephanie Fierce in two weeks. It was the last song to be mixed and shipped for the album.
Music Video
The purpose of the video is to showcase a more confident sensual side of Stephanie Fierce, as she makes love to her man, and……to her guitar.
“I don't think I have very young fans anymore. The director approached me with the idea and I didn't shoot it down because his idea was quiet similar to mine. I wanted to be nude period, and I wanted to be sexy. It wasn't something that was forced down upon me. I have confidence in myself and I think my fans deserve to see me that way once in a while. Basically this video just compliments the song and it also brings excitement to many other places (Giggles)”. The video opens up with Stephanie brushing a horse on a deserted gusty area that looks rather like a studio set. That scene then fades out. Steph is then seen holding a blood-red colored guitar which covers her from being completely naked. Her hair lies upon her back wet and straightened. Throughout the song's video, multiple but not completely nude close-ups of Stephanie Fierce are seen and based on a pitch black background filming photography. The song begins and as she plays the guitar, Fierce’s face directly comes into view. Her eyes quint devilish and her full skin and body is presented to the HD camera shot at the highest quality possible. Her mouth opens a bit as if she’s being seduced, slowly sticking out her tongue. An unknown man is then seen coming, only his shadow in sight. But effects put emphasis on it to show he’s coming.
As the guitar playing builds up, two hands are then seen coming over Stephanie’s as she plays the guitar. The camera zooms out after a quick fade out, and Silver Spoons (who’s wearing nothing but a cowboy hat) is seen in sight kissing her neck as she turns her head from left to right, with her eyes fixed off-camera. As the chorus is reached, Spoon is then seen pushing Stephanie’s nude body against a glassed wall. The scene is a bit out of focus so you almost see nothing, but their faded bodies. It then teases you by going in and out of focus, almost showing Stephanie’s complete naked body being pressed on glass. During so, Steph is seen making moaning faces as Silver Spoons presses behind her.
During the second verse, Steph and Silver Spoons are seen lying on a bed making love to each other. The room is lighten by a red light. Following, Silver Spoons is then seen putting ice in her chest area as she pushes back. Silver Spoon embraces her hair and makes his way down to her curves, showcasing the pleasure she’s feeling. Silver Spoons then places his hat above Steph’s head and they both smile.
As the second chorus reaches, Stephanie Fierce is now seen dancing solo in an abandoned deserted area, this time wearing silky red gown, thrusting her waist in circular motion whilst nothing but a guitar covers her body parts. Gyrating slowly against the guitar, During this scene, you get various flashbacks of the previous scenes.
Right before the classical crossover begins, Steph is seen getting atop of the black horse she was brushing earlier, wearing a white t-shirt, daisy duke pants and high-heeled boots. then the scene grows more sensual as a dark cloud approaches the scene above the deserted area and rain beggins to pour down on Stephanie; wetting her completely. Steph can’t help but take advantage of the moment and toss her hair around as the horse lifts her into the air freely. During this scene, various shots of Silver Spoons smiling are placed, as if Steph was actually riding him instead of the horse. When lightning begins to strike, Silver Spoons is seen playing his guitar at rapid motion. Various hair tosses from Steph are seen as she rides the horse with all her strength. Finally when horse settles, Steph is seen resting her head on the horse as she is still mounted, her body dripped in rain.
As the whiny guitar closes the song, she can’t help but smile in gasp of air as the scene fades to black and the shadow of a man leaving with a cowboy hat is seen.
