<h3>Shawna Russell&#8217;s New Video: &#8220;Get Right or Get Left&#8221;.</h3>
<p>Oklahoma native <strong>Shawna Russell</strong> originally hit the scene in 2008 with the release of her debut album, <em>Goddess</em>, which received a fair amount of positive attention, enough at least to get her on the circuit. She is currently working on her sophmore album,<strong><em> Shawna Russell</em></strong>, due out later this year, and she premiered the video for her latest single, &#8220;<strong><em>Get Right or Get Left</em></strong>&#8221; just this morning. The song is fun and lively, voicing a woman&#8217;s lost patience with a deadbeat man, and it does showcase her vocal and writing talents. She and director Mark Nicolosi clearly tried to make a video that would match the spirit of the song. </p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I had a great time making this video. Director Mark Nicolosi had such a unique vision for telling the story in the song. He helped visually capture the attitude of the music and assertive feeling of the lyrics.&#8221; -Shawna Russell</p></blockquote>
<p>I disagree with Shawna here, though. I think the song is sassy and endearing, but the video does not adequately capture this; something is just off. The setting is awkward and distracting with Shawna singing in the background and the &#8220;stories&#8221; taking place on the same set. It is also campy and overacted. I can see the creative angle they were going for, but I just don&#8217;t think they quite made it. </p>
<p>I hope next time Shawna does her music justice by releasing a better video. </p>
