Celeste Buckingham



I found this precious Gemstone yesterday night before I slept. An amazing young singer with a beautiful voice. Her voice somewhat reminds me of Marina and the Diamonds crossed with Amy Winehouse, just incredible.

When I said young, she is quite young (Younger than me!). Celeste Rizwana Buckingham was born on 3rd May 1995, in Zurich, Switzerland.

The first song I listened to was "RUN RUN RUN". It was released in June 2012 under her Don't Look Back album. The song's genre is a mixed of Blues, Rock and Jazz. It was the song that perked my interest for this singer.

The music video is quite simple really. It starts with the band members and Celeste clapping their hands to the song. Shot in a big house. Her on different places of the house for solo scenes while the band members just stayed put in a room with their respected instruments (Too heavy to move the things, maybe?).

It's a good song, I like the rhythm and the clapping in the song. The lyrics also fits the song's title so no complain here.

The second song "Never Be You" is a personal favorite of mine. The lyrics is also something people can relate to. Though, it reminds me of a generic rock-pop song.

The music video is also very simple. In the beginning of the video, a very comfortable and expensive looking chair faced a full-body mirror in the middle of the room. Then, Celeste, dressed in black mini entered the room and sat in the chair, looked at herself in front of a full-body mirror (Touch up perhaps?). She accidentally dropped her lipstick or lip gloss (I think) and when she picked it up, she saw herself in a white attire with a fur jacket. It is Celeste except it is not her as the white Celeste acted posh and keep giving her the 'I'm-better-than-you' look while the black Celeste looked at her in 'What the heck?' look. The next few seconds, the image in the mirror dissapeared and left Celeste in wonder whether it was real or not. It was for a few seconds then, she was called out by her band member and the song begins.

Throughout the video, as Celeste and her band performed in the hall(?), the white Celeste appears among the crowd like a ghost which only Celeste on stage, can see.

I think the funny part was when the crowd started to clap their hands to the song and the white Celeste looked panic by this. (New method of exorcism O.o?)

In the 3/4 of the video, the two Celeste faced each other off with the original Celeste shouting her off 'I'll Never Be You". The song ends and back inside the room, apparently none of this had happened and Celeste was seen moving her hand away from her eyes. (Twillight zone, duuuuuddduuudduuu.) And this time, she was really called onto the stage or is it??? Dun Dun Duuunnnnnn~

That's pretty much it. Also, check out her Nobody Knows music video which was written for the benefit of children with Austism in Slovakia.
