User:Miss X-Factor/Sleepwalker (Bonnie McKee song)

"Sleepwalker" is the single by American recording artist Bonnie McKee. The song's accompanying music video was shot in Los Angeles on January 26, 2013 and will make its world premiere on Vevo on April, 2013.

Background
In October, McKee released a new song titled "Sleepwalker." McKee confirmed that the song was not her forthcoming album's official second single, but rather an "inbetweengle," a portmanteau meaning "in between single," meant to tide fans over until her next official release. It was written by Bonnie McKee, Oliver Goldstein and was produced by Oliver.

Music video
The music video premiered on October 17, 2013 and starred McKee and Kelsey Chow. joshipgirl.com gave the music video an negative review, saying "The music video could have been executed better. It’s a typical zombie music video, with an added lesbian kiss to try and garner more attention for the song. Bonnie, it didn’t work for Avril Lavigne (RIP Rock N Roll) and it hasn’t worked for you, it just came off as tacky and desperate. I did appreciate the tribute to the best zombie themed music video of all time, Michael Jackson’s Thriller, with the glowing yellow eyes at the end and throughout the video".

Reception
Natasha Shankar of SheKnows.com gave an positive review, saying "Showing us she's got comedic wit, a lively, fierce attitude and a penchant for my favorite holiday, she's sure to win over people with this uptempo collaboration with her boyfriend Oliver Goldstein and DJ Boys Noize". joshipgirl.com gave an positive review, saying "Sleepwalker is a haunting song backed by a hot EDM beat. The lyrics are dark “I swallowed some pills, I felt nothing”, “cut into my skin, I felt nothing”, but far more relatable and real than most pop songs. These dark lyrics put up against the upbeat EDM music create a unique contrast that you don’t see very often in pop music".
