Video: 'Self Control' by the British singer 'Sunday Girl' (aka Jade Williams), released on 2 August 2010. The song is the new interpretation of the 80ies hit by singer Laura Branigan. In this video, the 'Sunday Girl' (aka Jade Williams) wears a dress from the 'Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti' FW2010/11 collection. In March 2010, the observer has entitled an article about the young musician, DJ, illustrator and blogger with 'One to watch: Sunday Girl' and cites her: "I like things to be simple. My look is 'scruffy Chanel' because I love Coco Chanel's style, plain and masculine. It's a nice contrast to my music, which I want to feel like a wall of beautiful sound." On her website wearesundaygirl.com, the Sunday Girl writes about fashion, music, art, life.
