The Script reaching their goals in "Hall of Fame"

Fresh off their spinning chairs, the Irish alternative rock band The Script have just released an inspiring music video for their new Will.i.am-assisted cut, "Hall of Fame," that serves as the lead single from their upcoming third studio album "#3," due out on September 10th in the UK. The single falls slightly flat on this point, resulting in a soft rock number that could easily have been an offering from The Script alone. However it's nice to see the Voice judges working together instead of against each other.
The Script provide a twist to their familiar sound on this single, collaborating with Will.I.Am' who adds a unique element to the song, which features elements of rap-rock and is uplifting and catchy. The inspiring track is about following your heart, your dreams, reaching one's goals and striving to reach the top, with breathtaking and faint inducing specimen of a music from "#3" album. The guitarist Mark Sheehan commented about the uplifting piano-led track: "We wanted to capture as much emotion in the track’s sound as there is in the lyrics, which are definitely some of the most positive and upbeat we’ve ever written."
Frontman Danny O'Donoghue decided to hook up with The Black Eye Pea rapper after the pair worked together as coaches on 'The Voice' UK. O'Donoghue explained to The Sun: "I played Will a few demos backstage early on in 'The Voice.' We got to 'Hall Of Fame' and he immediately asked if he could have it for his new album, as it was exactly what he was looking for. It starts out like a typical The Script track, with O'Donoghue's vocals over a piano, but then both the beat and Will.i.am kick in and it's clear the band have done their best to incorporate the Black Eyed Peas star's R&B roots.
The Script teamed up with Will.i.am shot the music video for "Hall Of Fame" in Los Angeles earlier this summer. The video features two different characters, each with their own goal. One is a boxer, the other is a ballerina. A great video for a great track. The inspirational video goes well with the theme of the song which is all about self empowerment and belief. The Script will make a triumphant return to the road in North America, kicking off their headlining tour on October 9 at New York's prestigious Radio City Music Hall.
