Star Analysis - The Kooks




The Kooks are an indie/pop band who formed in Brighton, East Sussex in 2006. They have reached the top of the charts with a number of their singles from their album inside in/inside out, which was their debut album.


The music video for the song 'Naive' mainly consists of the lead singer walking around a dark bar/club looking for someone. There are occasional cuts from the bar/club to the lead singer and a girl sitting at home. The lighting is dark to show the dark place he's in, however, you are still able to see that he is lip syncing along with the lyrics of the song. The video is outlandish or in your face, instead it is incredibly simple, and you don't see a lot, however it is a good video to sell the lead singer. One thing I don't like about the music video is that it only sells the lead singer and not the band as a whole, as you very rarely see them.





The music video for the song "She Moves In Her Own Way" shows the band as a whole and is therfore different to "Naive". This video helps to sell the band to their target audience as everyone is shown. The video shows lots of different clips of the band in different places around the world, which is something that isn't seen very often in music videos, representing the bands individuality.
