Maree Sheehan “You Can’t Hide Love”
Catch-up time: the final catch-up video was another one missing from the database. Oh, there are some kitschy delights in this video. Maree gets four different looks in this video, not unlike a pop version of Teremoana’s very serious “Four Women” video. There’s a ’60s chick with a heavy fringe and a mini dress, a...
Missing videos from December 1995
I’m intrigued by vocal group CMB Swing. Were they named after the Cash Money Brothers from “New Jack City”? The song in this round was “Your Love Is All I Need”. Another track from Jacqui Keelan Davey, this time “Watching Me Drown”. After a solid run of music videos online, there’s no sign of Maree...
Maree Sheehan “What Have You Done To Me”
Maree is seated at a round booth at a nightclub. A man and woman sit down at the table across from her. Maree looks uncomfortable. She knows the woman. A waiter delivers a delicious fruit platter. And so the evening begins. Other guests arrive. A woman who looks like a shave-headed Justin Bieber gives the...
Maree Sheehan “Past To The Present”
Maree gathers her friends and family to an inner city park (Emily Place, I think) to have a singalong (over and over to the same song, with the requirement to look lively and happy all the time). I really like the video’s setting. They haven’t taken the easy route and gone for a beachside park....
Hello Sailor “New Tattoo”
Hello Sailor made a comeback in the ’90s, with an album called “The Album” and a new single. “New Tattoo” sounded a bit like “Gutter Black” and a bit like “Blue Lady”, so they weren’t going off in a radical new direciton. “I’m as blue as a new tattoo,” Graham sings, and the video takes...
Maree Sheehan “Kia Tu Mahea”
“Kia Tu Mahea” is positive, bilingual HI-NRG dance track, though it’s just hitting the end of this particular musical style’s life in the pop charts. The video is great – bold, colourful and sometimes split into Mondrianesque segments. Maree is joined by kapa haka performers, children, an African man, dudes in fresh urban threads, and...
Maree Sheehan “Fatally Cool”
Maree Sheehan crounches in the grass in One Tree Hill and, in a low, quiet voice, she raps like Prince Be of PM Dawn in “Set Adrift on Memory Bliss”. It’s an unusual mix. The video is full of kapahaka performers, and yet the songs is a slow jam that sounds more like a female...
Maree Sheehan “Dare to be Different”
The second time around, Maree Sheehan’s video is to be found online. “Dare to be Different”, a sultry dance track on the theme of acceptance, seems to take more than a few cues from Madonna. There’s Maree in a mansuit, but because it’s the early ’90s she’s wearing it with a peasant blouse (ok, that’s...
Missing videos from October 1991
Sultry-voiced songstress Maree Sheehan has a good collection of music videos on YouTube, but that’s let down by the absence of her first single, “Make U My Own”. Instead here’s “Heavenly Pop Hit” by the Chills, from 1990. I present this as an example of the sort of music videos that were being made just...
