Where she associates herself with a diverse rang of people of are suffering and being misjudged. As CBR moves elegantly between each individual, it promotes the fact she is able to interact with everyone peacefully and equally. This then highlights her uniqueness as an artist because she is trying to convince to her audience, her kindness and her willingness to acknowledge and deal with the unacceptable issues of prejudice. One stereotype she tries to disprove is the mental strength of men and the mental weakness of women. She does this by showing in her music video a stressed, lonely man with his dog. She then comes in and helps the man to become proud and happy. Again this positive representation promotes her as an artist, signifying that its not only women that mentally struggle in life but men as well and that both genders need each other .
Another way Corinne Baily Rae is represented is through one of the individuals in the video. The girl in the blue hoodie. The young women could represent her younger-self.
