Helicopter Girl is the stage name of Jackie Joyce, a musician from Perth, Scotland. Her first album was 2000's How to Steal the World, which was nominated for a Mercury Music Prize. Joyce then took an extended break from the business before writing and recording her second album, Voodoo Chic which featured the single "Angel City" and was released in 2004.
I nicked the above from a Wikipedia entry. "Angel City" was a big hit for her but I guess I was living under a rock. Enjoy.
I enjoy the retro vibe. The iconography used throughout the video references the style used on so many Jazz, Blues, R&B LPs. It became and hasbecome a cliche. The video obviously uses iconography from Blue Notes records. You can see Helicopter Girl with a flower in her hair which references Billie Holiday.
