Fresh off the international chart-topping success of her previous single, "Little Things,"
Pamela Hopkins is using the momentum to win over the local country circuit with the video for her single, "Givin' A Damn (Don't Go With My Outfit)." This witty, satirical track, written by Hopkins, Dave Lenahan and Melissa Leigh, poignantly pokes fun at the small-town gossip whispers and the assertion that Ms. Hopkins will not be troubled by this. An anthemic mantra of the feminine revolution, "Givin' A Damn" is a feel-good track to boost esteem and self-acceptance. It is an empowering, inspirational outcry to sympathetic, appreciative people, sick of giving a damn what others think.
A native of
Little Rock, Arkansas,
Pamela Hopkins releases this video showcasing local concert venues; Of course nothing goes by without a hitch. After inviting 25 close friends to attend the video shoot, the weather turned and tornado watches were issued. Determined to complete on schedule, local volunteers were commissioned to stand-in:
Pamela explains, "We asked Rob Byford, permission to shoot at his place called The Library Kitchen + Lounge - it's one of the venues my band plays at regularly, so it was the perfect place. I had about 25 people scheduled to show up…but the weather was horrible and there were tornado watches happening and it had been storming for a few days before. So people cancelled because of the potential weather and several of my friends had gotten sick from the weather shifting (allergies). It's Arkansas so I totally understood because I was getting all stopped up too. So, we did what we had to do, and we scooped some willing volunteers off the streets of downtown
Little Rock. Honestly, I think that worked out even better!"
Additional footage for the video was shot in and around Vilonia, Arkansas, where
Pamela currently resides:
"We shot the other parts of the music video in Vilonia, AR, where I live, because I talk about small towns…and we are small town USA! My good friend, owner of Harwell's - Lori Harwell, volunteered her time and store. On a side note, if you like the leopard print boots in the video - I bought them at her store…several of the things I wear on stage I get from her store."
The video for "Givin' A Damn (Don't Go With My Outfit)" was produced by
Pamela Hopkins and
Angela Dunaway with Sharpe Dunaway Videography.
