The Wanted Are Hearts Broken In "Warzone"

British-Irish boy band The Wanted have unveiled their new music video for "Warzone," as the fourth cut from their new sophomore LP, "Battleground," a euphoric widescreen classic of epic-pop proportions. The Wanted are wrapping up another tremendously successful year. With its tear-strewn piano melody and melodic hook, "Warzone" was their most mature effort to date and one of the highlights of the album.
Co-written by Max George and Nathan Sykes from the quintet, the song tells a story of bitter heartache and pain. "You're the reason we started this fight," the five harmonize on this gut-wrenching ballad that comes with a subtle dubstep touch, which gives the song a compelling British flair. The electropop ballad is a subtle attempt at dubstep that fuses somber piano chords and an epic soft rock chorus with distant wobble basslines and spacious beats.
It hasn't been easy for British pop outfit to break in North America but Mercury Records in the U.S. is up for the challenge. First priority is to build a loyal fanbase online who can help spread the word about the group. The Wanted's music will also be strategically placed on TV and radio to get mainstream audiences slowly but surely familiar with their music. A good example of that are The Wanted's recent features on Simon Cowell's X Factor in the U.S.
Featuring a haunting piano riff, emotional vocals and a truly epic chorus, it's easily the best thing they've ever recorded. The video, filmed in Brooklyn, New York, was directed by Director X, who previously directed their video for "Glad You Came." The promo sees the boys having their hearts broken when they discover their girlfriends cheating on them and decide to confront them in the bedroom bust-up. The boys belting out their dubstep-infused ballad while surrounded by huge piles of rubble, smashed up cars and a burning piano.
