Evaluation of 'Love is Easy - McFly'

 

 



In this music video McFly are seen to be conveying the typical boy band' image and as a 17 year old girl, I can say that I really like this music video and I am a fan of McFly.

 

"Love Is Easy" is unlike other McFly singles as it heavily features the ukelele, being the first song that Tom Fletcher had written using it; Fletcher explains "[the band] wrote most of the melody first and that was just inspired because I bought a ukulele and that was the first song I wrote on it really".

 

According to Dougie Poynter, the song was partly inspired by the film Love Actually, saying "that moment in 'Love Actually' when one of the porn couple says 'all I want for Christmas is you', that moment there was our inspiration". The song also incorporates a quote from the 1946 film It's a Wonderful Life.This is the first McFly single that hasn't been released as a CD single.

 

The music video appeals to young teenaged girls as their music is generally about 'love' and appeal to girls more than boys (which is their aim).

 

The video does not have a narrative story like 'Pretty Hurts'- Beyoncé, but it is comical and clever the way they have made it. This is quite rare for the singers to be playing instruments in their music video and McFly seem to break this barrier. McFly are seen to be playing instruments in this video and this creates a strong star image showing that they aren't just good at singing- they are also musically talented musicians as well.
