Artist: Jihae
Video: 'The Model'
Highlight: For the video for her cover of this Kraftwerk track, Jihae enlisted 'Boardwalk Empire' star Paz de la Huerta. "I found it mind boggling that kids today when asked what they want to be when they grow up, 99% of the time the answer is, 'I want to be famous' or 'I want to be on TV,'" Jihae tells Spinner. "If you ask, 'Famous for what?' you'll most likely get a shoulder shrug. It's a sad world when the Kardashians and other reality stars are the role models for our next generation. This is what inspired me to cover the song and make the video. Paz and I met through mutual friends and we became yoga buddies. She had me learn 'Ave Maria' in Latin to sing in high soprano for a short film she was directing as a favor back for being in my video."
