Lovesick is now being used in the trailer for ITV2 Spring schedule, which will run from this evening until May..
'Lovesick' is taken from Emily's forthcoming debut album Fight or Flight (released July 4th 2011) Already tipped as a 'Song Of The Day'. her single is a bright neon-filled electro pop gem. The video features Tron-esque robots vogueing with Emily, whilst she struts her stuff like some glamorous Blade Runner replicant.
An accomplished musician, whose mom first taught her to play guitar, Osment wrote most of the songs on 'Fight or Flight' in recording studios in New York and L.A., before turning the tracks over for Hooper to work on in London (where they communicated on Skype), then finishing them up together back in the States.
As Emily is confident she can artfully balance—and maintain—her burgeoning careers in both acting and music, without sacrificing quality in either, something she learned only too well from watching others close to her such as her brother actor Haley Joel Osment. “Whether it’s going to school and taking on film roles or doing music and acting, I’m lucky to be pursuing both of my passions.”
“It’s definitely a challenge finding the time to do everything I want to do. You have to walk a tightrope, and fit all the puzzle pieces together. They are both things that I love, and they employ different sides of the brain. As my life gets more complicated, I realize I will have to balance them both like a circus act, but it’s the best type of circus act there is. There are certain aspects of both disciplines that do cross over. When it comes to writing songs, I pull from my personal experiences, as well as other people’s lives, just like I do in acting.”
Whatever happens to Emily Osment in the future, she will continue to do things her way.
