Taylor Swift Shows Her Sensual Side in "Style"

After two lighthearted "1989" music videos, "Blank Space" and "Shake It Off," Taylor Swift gets darker and shows her sensual side with her latest video for her newest single "Style," inspired by her ex-boyfriend Harry Styles of One Direction. The moody new video is a different beast, showcasing the 25-year-old pop singer-songwriter in a darker, more abstract and light.
This song about a relationship with a guy who has "slicked-back hair" appears to be Swift looking back at her time with Styles. The clue is not only in the title, but also Harry used to rock a slicked-back hair style. But that's not to say that "Style" doesn't properly define its relationship. It just has that catchy dance-party vibe that makes you fall in love with a pop song.
Featuring her BFF Sarah Hyland's boyfriend Dominic Sherwood, the captivating video is filled with special effects and gorgeous beauty shots of Swift, who sporting her trademark "red lip, classic thing that you like" look while walking barefoot through a forest and cozying up to her love interest in a lightning storm in between some artsy shots of Swift disappearing into puffs of smoke and waves crashing on a picturesque beach. Throughout the video, Swift and her man are haunted by memories of each other, the lyrics also nod toward a similar conflict, before the pair is ultimately reunited before the video fades out.

Bonnie McKee heats up with "California Winter"

Dreaming of palm trees tonight? You're not alone. Singer-songwriter-pop star extraordinaire Bonnie McKee is getting us in the sunny, sparkly Christmas spirit with her new cheerful holiday song "California Winter," and McKee's got a hot holiday tip for you as she belts across the chorus of the lovey-dovey wintry ode that is all about cozying up to your love - the only thing that can make you feel like a "California Winter," despite the snow and chilly weather.
"California Winter," is a future holiday classic with bright, catchy, and full of hooks. It's just like one of McKee's pop hits - only with a festive holiday twist. The talented "American Girl" pop penner, who looks like a gorgeous Christmas pin-up dream on the song's cover artwork, provides cheerful horns and wintry jingling bells on her cheery new tune. The super bubbly, upbeat track bops like a squeaky-clean '50s tune with McKee letting the world know that California still basks in the sun during winter. "It's always summer with you," she sings to her lover - the only thing that can make you feel like a "California Winter," despite the snow and chilly weather.
Reflecting the warm weather on the west coast, she wears various pin-up-inspired looks in the festive clip. McKee admitted that this was also a last minute project that came together with a lot of D.I.Y. work from the singer and her friends. Their labor of love is just as charming as the romantic, feel-good track itself. "This one-shot video was duct-taped, stapled, and glued together with chewing gum by my loving, wonderful, talented friends," says McKee of them making of this video.

The Script sings farewell in 'No Good in Goodbye'

Irish band The Script just revealed an on-set performance music video for "No Good In Goodbye," the second single from their fourth studio album, "No Sound Without Silence." You can always count on The Script for great lyrics and a catch melodic song, and their latest offering "No Good In Goodbye," is already a live singalong favorite, and sees the Irish three piece band opening up words and meanings and sentiments with characteristic The Script emotion.
There is nothing pretty about saying farewell for good to a person you care about. The emotional song details the difficulties in how one tries to get over heartbreak as the band seems to be beamed into space. According to The Script frontman Danny O'Donoghue, the band's material is made up of complex thoughts condensed down to really simple songs. He explained that with this track, "we wanted to put a twist on a word: where's the good in goodbye, where's the fair in farewell... Then we tried to make that into a lyrical idea, which seemed to work really well."
And the video, directed by Charlie Lightning, is an intergalactic experience. It begins with a light shining down on O'Donoghue as he sings of mistakes he's made in his previous relationship. "I can't take the ache from heartbreak," he belts. With neon lights projecting on O'Donoghue and his band, a hologram of women, played by Brazilian model Anna de Paul, are shown frozen in time. As he practices his apology on the woman he's done wrong she slowly comes to life. Does she forgive him? You'll have to watch to find out.

Fall Out Boy Play Gladiators in "Centuries"

Fall Out Boy take it way, way back - centuries, we'll say - in their new music video for "Centuries," the lead single off of Fall Out Boy's upcoming untitled sixth studio album. The emo pop band has blasted through radio-ready, punk-infused rock tunes for almost a decade, and their new video for "Centuries," which features them in a medieval setting, is an elaborate gladiator mini-movie, and the production values look to be just as elaborate as its life-or-death stakes. It's all melodramatic swords and sandals.
Fall Out Boy vocalist Patrick Stump originally came forward with this fist-pumper while the band were on the Monumentour concert tour with Paramore. "We never had a plan to jump right back into it after the whirlwind year we've had… but sometimes the song calls you," bassist and lyricist Pete Wentz said. "We started writing 'Centuries' while we were on tour." Wentz described the idea of the song as a "David vs. Goliath story." He added, "We wanted to write a song that empowered people who are a little weird."
In the video for "Centuries," the band depicts the era of the gladiator. All four members play competitors in a massive coliseum who must square off against a brute of a fellow gladiator as both commoners and some of society's elite look on. Perhaps they would have stood some chance against someone more their size, but the members of the band are defeated one by one by their terrifyingly large opponent, who's clearly a mismatch for them. But in a twist at the end, Fall Out Boy realize they might have a shot after all, thanks to a mysterious helper.
"Getting back up. Dusting it off. My dad used to tell me the most important part of any of it was getting back up on the horse - I didn’t grow up on a farm - but it still applied," Wentz said of the video in a release. "David vs. Goliath, us vs. them, you vs. the world... brains, talent and luck are great but heart will always trump them. That is the sentiment of this video." It seems like someone in Fall Out Boy has been watching "Game of Thrones." watch for yourself below to see if they survive.

5 Seconds Of Summer debuts clip for "Good Girls"

It was clear 5 Seconds Of Summer were up to no good when they posed for mugshots on the cover of new single "Good Girls." The band then confirmed it by teasing the chaotic video, which was filmed in an abandoned prison as boys are trouble. and the cinematic music video is a hugely enjoyable romp that finds the guys being hired by a reform school to soothe the students with their "classical music," while trying to calm some delinquent girls from boredom.
The Aussie rockers sure know how to keep fans on their toes. They hammed it up in their performance-based "She Looks So Perfect" video before taking a sweet, nostalgic approach to "Amnesia." With its girls-behind-bars theme and camp flair, "Good Girls," the fourth single from the Australian band's self-titled debut album, is the band's most ambitious and exciting offering yet.
Speaking about the song, the band's guitarist Michael Clifford said: "It was one of the first songs that me and Ashton wrote. We wrote it with a guy called Roy Stride, he's from Scouting for Girls, a guy called Josh Wilkinson and a guy called George Tizzard and... Rick Astley. Roy came to us with the lyric 'good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught' and at first it didn't strike to me." the drummer Ashton Irwin added: "It didn't strike to him, but I was like 'Roy, you're a genius.'"
Shot at Lincoln Heights Jail (an old prison that closed in 1965) in Los Angeles, the clip shows the Australian four-piece pretend to be classical musicians, hired by the director of a prison facility where "bad girls" are held and asked to soothe and calm some delinquent divas in the “Reform School for Bad Girls” with classical musical. But, instead of soothing the girls in a clever twist, these boys play a beat that only further corrupts the girls behind bars. Check out the rebellious clip below.

Rixton performing at a party in "Wait On Me"

The past few months have been pretty crazy for the English pop/R&B band Rixton. They just wrapped up their sold out US headlining tour so now it's time to give us something new by debuting the "interactive" vintage-styled music video to their current hit single, "Wait On Me," the lead-off single off British sensations debut full-length album, "Let The Road," which coming out on January 6 of 2015.
Following the success of "Me And My Broken Heart," the boys of British band Rixton, Jake Roche, Charley Bagnall, Danny Wilkin, and Lewi Morgan, are back with another tune, "Wait On Me," and somehow, it's equal parts Maroon 5 ("One More Night") and Rihanna ("What's My Name"). The Wayne Hector co-written catchy pop tune is basically just this song about a guy telling a girl, "Look no further, for I am the best lover there is!" But, like, in a sexier, cooler way. Oh, and did I mention that the track rhymes "body" with "body"? Well, it does and it's brilliant. On the chorus.
Not only is the song awesome, but the cool new interactive visual is amazing! It is set in the 1920's and is quite unique and the viewer gets to "chose their fate" throughout the video which asks you questions and allows you to click and respond and that affects its outcome. Your decisions effect how it all turns out, which in our case led to Roche hiding in a wine cellar and getting in a lamp fight, but the outcome can be totally different for you depending on what you pick. Check out the video to see how it works!
This video was directed by fourclops ::) and Cameron Duddy. In video, the band is performing a show at a Gatsby-themed mansion party and the host's wife shows interest in Rixton's frontman Roche, who will do more than just singing songs. He'll 'mingle' with a pretty lady at an upstairs room but before "it" happens the mafia boss who hired the band will attack when he finds out he's trying to "get it" with one of his girls. Thankfully, the two newly-met lovebirds will find their way out. Fans have the ability to click through the video and ultimately chose what happens to Roche. Check out the video below and play along.

Maroon 5 hunting down a women in "Animals"

Maroon 5's frontman Adam Levine is getting seriously creepy in his band's new music video for "Animals," the second single from the American pop rock band's fifth studio album "V," and it features the typically likeable Levine hunting down and stalking his real-life wife, Victoria's Secret Angel Behati Prinsloo after a chance encounter.
Over a shimmering bass line and thumping drums, this Shellback-produced catchy yet controversial (due to its lyrics) song finds Levine trying to 'prey' a woman he's really obsessed with, as he singing of hunting down her in order to have sex with her. "Don't deny the animal that comes alive when I'm inside you," he crudely croons. There is nothing that can stop him from accomplishing that goal.
The newly-premiered visual for "Animals" will definitely draw some controversy just like the lyrics of the song. And the director Samuel Bayer has exactly translated the story of the song into a cinematic music video, which kicks off with any random happening; Prinsloo walks into the butcher shop where Levin works, buys some sort of meat product and leaves. Nothing to write home about. Except, the short meeting is more than enough to obsess over for a bespectacled and bearded Levine, who spend the next four minutes hunting down Prinsloo like she's just another pig out for slaughter, and courts her until she falls for him.
Levine is effectively creepy as this stalker-type, taking dozens of photos of Prinsloo (even as she sleeps), following her to her apartment, bedroom and swinging on some old meat carcasses and smearing himself in blood. Just in case, you know, the stalking wasn't terrifying enough. Levine's insanity later leads him to the same club as Prinsloo, and she's understandably uninterested in him. The two end up in bed together anyway, making out totally naked at Levine's meat-cutting facility while getting poured in blood, Carrie-style. Look at the darker, creepier side of Levine the Butcher below.

Hilary Duff Stalks A Crush In "All About You"

Hilary Duff has a serious crush as she sexes things up and does the cowgirl line dance moves like a pro in the music video for her folky pop song, "All About You," an insanely catchy single from her upcoming (comeback) fifth studio album. Sounding like a big ol' stomping party, "All About You" is in the same twangy folk-pop vein as her debut single "Chasing the Sun," but that it's a huge improvement for Duff.
The folk undertones, handclaps, shout-along chorus and deliriously enjoyable melodies all make this the winning comeback bid that Duff fans were hoping to hear when she announced her return to music. The former Lizzie McGuire star starts her song with the lyrics, "You could be my dirty secret, I could be yours," providing a distinctly different sound from her previous four studio albums. "Think you're all about me but I'm all about you/ Turn the lights down let me show you it's true!" Sing your heart out, Duff fans, because this song rules.
Duff is one of few Disney stars to have maintained her squeaky clean image, but the 26-year-old mother-of-one amped up her sex appeal, shakes her hips and shows off her toned legs in a pair of tiny black shorts with fishnet stockings and ankle boots for a super-sexy time choreographed routine as she searches for her new man crush in the three minute clip which was directed by Declan Whitebloom.
Doesn't-want-to-age Duff falls in love at the first sight with a cute guy she spotted in a coffee shop. She finds a record that he accidentally drops before leaving the place and then shows a photo she took of him to her girlfriends at dance rehearsals. After running through their cowgirl-ish line dance choreography, all girls go on a quest to track down Duff's unnamed man and return an album throughout the day. Eventually, they find it at a party at the L.A. river below a bridge where, yes, Duff will hypnotize with his her moves.

OneRepublic give empower message in "I Lived"

OneRepublic just premiered a monumentally inspiring music video for "I Lived," which tells the story of Bryan Warnecke, a teenager boy from Colorado who is living with and fighting cystic fibrosis. The song comes to a climax when OneRepublic takes the stage at the state's adored venue Red Rocks to perform the uplifting tune. Warnecke, who is a major fan of OneRepublic's music, will get the ultimate prize by being flown from his small town to witness live one of the most important concerts in OneRepublic's latest North American tour.
"With every broken bone/ I swear I lived." That lyric stands on its own with its empowering notes. The track co-written by Ryan Tedder in collaboration of Noel Zancanella is the fifth official single taken from the Colorado band's third studio album, "Native." Instead of going the traditional route, OneRepublic took the opportunity to give "I Lived" a real message with its music video by using their single to share Warnecke's inspiring story and aspirations that shed new light on the uplifting single off "Native."
Bryan's been living with this disease that ravages his lungs and makes it feel like he's "breathing through a straw," for 15 years. It's terrifying and heartbreaking, but it's not getting in Warnecke's way as he continues to do the things he loves. Drawing from the words in the song, Warnecke says, "I believe in living every second to its fullest, taking the jump without fear of the fall and taking the pain while giving it my all." He adds, "My dream is to become the first person with CF to compete in the Olympics as the goalie for the USA hockey team. The CF Foundation and OneRepublic are helping to keep that dream alive."
The band filmed the video in early-September with director Noble Jones in Morrison, CO, during the final stop of OneRepublic's "Native" Summer Tour. In the video, the band wanted to highlight someone who embodies the spirit of living and achieving in the face of great adversity. After a brief introduction of his disease, Warnecke shows OneRepublic's fans in the video photographs and footage of how he's grown up dealing with this unfair burden, but refuses to let that get in the way of his dreams. What a moving video! It just fits the whole concept of the song in a way I didn't expect.

The Veronicas return with ballad "You Ruin Me"

The Veronicas return with a vengeance and a twisted ballet music video for their gritty new song, "You Ruin Me," the first new release in seven years and the lead track lifted from Aussie pop sibling duo's upcoming self-titled third studio album, due later this year through Sony Music after splitting with their longtime label Warner Bros.
It's been a decade since the twins cracked the music industry and have been absent from Australian airwaves for five years, but now the sisters Jessica and Lisa Origliasso - the 29-year-old Brisbane born-and-raised twins who go by the name The Veronicas are back, and kicked off their long-awaited comeback with tortured ballad "You Ruin Me." It's a semi-orchestral, hate-drenched intense breakup ballad which comes from an altogether different place than the Origliasso twins' 2007 catchy electo-pop hit "Untouched," but it's a great reminder of both their songwriting and vocal prowess.
Written with APRA Award winning production team DNA Songs, "You Ruin Me" is a musical statement of The Veronicas' maturity. The song concentrates on the Australian sisters' vocal talents, it's built on keys and fleshed-out with a lush orchestral production, and there's not a single beat to be found. Talking about the inspiration behind the song, Jess revealed to the Courier Mail: "We are in such a great place now as far as being artists and being comfortable as women, and this song was the last piece of the puzzle to say goodbye to the broken parts of ourselves."
The dramatic video, inspired by Darren Aronofsky's dark 2010 feature film "Black Swan." In true rock star form, the raven haired duo sit in a fierce black car with their hit song playing on the radio while wearing identical white framed sunglasses and a slick of rouge, as they pull up outside the State Theatre at Sydney, with a neon lit sign saying "Tonight The Veronicas - Private Show." The twins perform the song on stage while a twisted back story about a jealous ballerinas and a particularly creepy and unscupulous dance instructor unfolds. It's weird, twisted and strangely beautiful. Kind of like the song. Watch the twisted ballet drama below.

Nick Jonas takes a psychedelic ride in "Jealous"

On the day of his 22nd birthday birthday, Nick Jonas decided to throw his own b-day bash inviting fans to join him at the South Street Seaport in New York City to debut the artistic, colorful music video for the latest single, "Jealous," off of his upcoming self-titled album solo album, which is set to drop on November 11. Take a trip through TV Land, Jonas gets truly trippy and pretty deep in his brand new video, which goes in and out of being shot in black and white and color. We're loving this side of him!
Follow his first single "Chains," The upbeat, sexy song was inspired by his pageant galpal, whose bombshell appearance receives unsolicited cat-calls and attention from random strangers. The lyrics express jealousy within a relationship, specifically, other guys looking at his girl! "It's not your fault that they hover, I mean no disrespect," Jonas shows off his sultry side, belts his heart out, admitting that he gets jealous of his gorgeous girlfriend, Miss USA 2012 squeeze, Olivia Culpo, 22. "It's my right to be hellish, I still get jealous."
Jonas enlisted Culpo to prove his point about why he can get so hellish. The Peter Tunney-directed surreal clip takes viewers on a psychedelic ride as he hops on a motorcycle through a cartoonish backdrop, while Culpo and another woman are seen in various glamor shots, basically just driving Jonas crazy with jealousy. "I had a specific experience that sort of inspired me to write this song and got the ball rolling in that sense, and it's not limited to that by any means," Jonas told MTV. "And this video is about getting a little bit deeper and opening the conversation up and just having fun while we do it."
And it certainly seems like they had a lot of fun, as the video features Culpo stripping down to her lingerie to play the cello in the clouds, Jonas playing piano with a little old lady and getting beat pretty bad at a game of basketball, walking down a city street and singing with an old-school microphone. Late Jonas and Culpo come together in an old-school yellow cab. But, if you look closely, the clip shows a completely different side of the singer, is feathered with a bunch of inspirational and hidden messages which appear on street signs, on city walls and his instruments. It may serve as a deeper message, possibly in reference to his new solo career.

R5 Break the Law in "Heart Made Up On You"

The past year has been an exciting one for R5 and they don't plan on toning it down anytime soon. The Hollywood Records pop/rock group has returned but is getting into some trouble on the set of their new music video for the indecisive love-crazed new track "Heart Made Up On You," the lead single and title track from their latest third EP, which serves as the first taste of the pop-rock quintet of R5's upcoming sophomore full-length studio album, scheduled to be released on September 30.
It doesn't take much listening to tell that the band's sound has evolved since their last record, which featured pop chart-toppers "Loud" and "(I Can't) Forget About You." Ellington Ratliff, Riker Lynch, Rocky Lynch, Ross Lynch and Rydel Lynch are venturing away from bubble-gum pop in their new material, instead delving into dance-pop with EDM elements, as can be heard in the EP's lead single "Heart Made Up on You." With catchy beats and lyrics, it's possible that this can be the next "(I Can’t) Forget About You."
"Heart Made Up on You," is a ridiculously catchy and radio-friendly yet tune about a very complex relationship with a boy being psychologically hooked on a girl who's no good, and Ross' vocals have certainly grown stronger and matured in this new EP. "Lyrically, behind the song, is the fact that a girl isn't good for you but you still want her. So we took the concept into the video and made it a very literal thing where the girl is basically leading us into a trap. Ross is in love with her, so we're trying to help him out he's there and then it ends up being that she's, was completely bad for him and the fact that we were all right and we shouldn't have been involved with her in the first place," Riker explained in an interview.
The gritty crime setup is an unexpected as R5 get involved in an epic heist in the "Heart Made Up on You" video, which fits perfectly with the message of song. What better way to showcase that than with a double-crossing hope-to-be girlfriend? The video, which plays like a crime thriller, shows the band getting mixed up with Ross' up-to-no-good girlfriend and her father in the small and slightly abandoned town. As the jewelry theft unwinds, R5 perform their catchy single, "My mind says, no you're no good for me/ You're no good but my heart's made up on you." However, the heist eventually goes awry and the plan turns to chaos or does it? You'll have to watch the twist ending to find out!

5 Seconds Of Summer throws an "Amnesia" party

5 Seconds of Summer has unveiled a new music video for their song "Amnesia," appears in 5 Seconds of Summer's self-titled debut album that debuted at No.1 on Billboard 200 earlier this week. The four-minute visuals opens with the group consisting of Calum Hood, Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford and Ashton Irwin performing the heartbreaking ballad in an abandoned summer home, while featuring some flashback scenes showing the boys and their girlfriends having fun together during a summer day. It's full of all the teenage angst we would expect from the Aussie pop-rock boy band.
This regretful track "Amnesia," was co-written by Good Charlotte's Benji and Joel Madden along with Louis and Michael Biancaniello and Louis' frequent songwriting partner, Sam Watters, is due for release in the UK on September 7. It finds the guys unable to escape the memories of a failed relationship. While the lyric video for the heartbreaking ballad was filled with painful memories of a relationship gone wrong, the latest promo is a flashback to what seems to be an epic summer day, and sees the lads leave behind their underwear and superhero costumes to have some fun with some pals instead!
In the video, the boys are suffering from a pretty sad breakup, and decide what better way to get over that heartache than to write a song about it. 5 Seconds of Summer wish they could just forget about their past relationship, saying "I wish that I could wake up with amnesia, and forget about this stupid little thing." However, despite the emotional undertones of the lyrics, the boys seem to be having an all out ball in the video. They throw a pool party, golf on top of their station wagon, and drink outside a 7-11, while having shopping cart races.
The video kicks off with Ashton meeting the guys for band practice in a garage, where they used to get together before hitting it big in Australia. The promo is intercut with shots of Aussie pop-rock group meeting up some friends as they race shopping carts, go on a road trip, play golf on top of a car and have a pool party, complete with blow-up giraffes, an astronaut costume, lots of water guns and really wet skinny jeans. Watch the lads get up to all sorts of summer fun in their latest promo below.

Ed Sheeran sings about the betrayal with "Don't"

Ed Sheeran premiered the dance-driven music video for his beat-driven slice of funk lite "Don't," the official second single from the British singer-songwriter's eclectic sophomore album, "X." Though Sheeran's latest single, "Don't," was inspired by a bitter breakup, the singer has taken a more optimistic approach with the track's new video. Directed by Emil Nava, the clip focuses on one dancer's journey from poverty to wealth, as he limberly pops and locks his way from the ghetto to a mansion.
The Benny Blanco and Rick Rubin co-produced mid-tempo "Don't," the biting cheating anthem is all about a ex-girlfriend who cheated on Sheeran, and moving seamlessly through life. Sheeran almost didn't include "Don't" on the final cut of "X," as he felt it was "a bit too personal." Label and friends ultimately convinced Sheeran. He opened up to Rolling Stone about the song's origins, saying the funky cut was inspired by a real-life romance with another singer who slept with one of Sheeran's close friends while they were staying in the same hotel. But despite internet rumors, the track wasn't written about Taylor Swift, a songwriter known for penning tracks of romantic revenge.
Despite the song's downer lyrics about a celebrity breakup and betrayal, being packed with a pile of attitude and a sprinkle of revenge, the video delivers a cheerier vibe with a rags-to-riches story about a guy who dances his way to the top. Played by the 25-year-old sinewy hip-hop dancer Phillip Chbeeb, aka PacMan, who was a season 5 contestant on "So You Think You Can Dance," and steals the show in a rags-to-riches saga, as he springs into action, locking, popping, high-stepping and levitating up the social ladder and make his way through the city of Los Angeles until he's ensconced in a mansion.
The video opens with Chbeeb sleeping outside on a weather-beaten mattress, but once Sheeran's soulful falsetto kicks in, he wakes up by a shack, and begins his epic dance voyage. After some quick breakdancing, the man walks into his house and puts on a shirt; from there, he slips in and out of several increasingly nice homes. While he's back in the streets doing his routines, he's checked out by Sheeran from his window as he passes by in a black SUV. And he finally arrives at a fancy mansion, where he finds a nice suit to wear, shows off some Matrix-styled moves, and sits by the grand table to enjoy a massive Thanksgiving-style feast.

Christina Perri starts the fire in "Burning Gold"

"All that glitters isn't always gold." Christina Perri uploaded the brand new visual for "Burning Gold," the second official single from her latest sophomore album "Head or Heart," and features a throwback clip that harkens back to '60s girl groups, bright lights, old school Hollywood glam and lots of gold, of course. Fearing the life she wants might be slipping out of her grasp, Perri declares that she's had enough and she wants a change. With the flip of a jukebox song and the grasp of a microphone, the singer steps forward to take charge of her life.
The 27-year-old Philadelphia singer is best-known for her emotional ballads "Jar Of Hearts" and "A Thousand Years," but Perri isn't afraid to raise the tempo occasionally as she proves on "Burning Gold," which was co-written by Perri with Kid Harpoon and was produced by John Hill and Butch Walker. The cover art for "Burning Gold" features Perri with a Midas touch, turning her right hand, arm and shoulder into gold. That gold - giving your life meaning - is what "Burning Gold" is all about. Change starts with the daily grind: "I wish the wind would carry a change. It only ends once you've burnt all the useless packaging of your life down to gold."
Perri is not afraid to stand up for herself in her "Burning Gold" video which gives off a "Dreamgirls" vibe. As a waitress at a very dirty truck stop diner, her life is pretty miserable, but she's got to work there to make ends meet. She gazes through the window from time to time watching the better lives of other, and realizing hers is sort of doomed. However, when a famous singers and his back-up dancer enter the diner one day, Perri out of the sudden gets a shot of courage, selects a song on the jukebox, grabs the microphone and starts belting the song and exposing her amazing talent.
This famous male singer spots Perri, and hires her as her new back-up singer. After going on tour, Perri falls in love with his 'savior' aka the famous singer who hired her. They supposedly live a happy life until Perri finds him cheating on her. A heart-broken and furious singer gets the keys of his Porsche, drives away with no fixed destination, leaves and gets off the car below a cement bridge and sets it on fire - leaving all her 'new life' and all the glitz behind. "All that glitters isn't always gold."

Bea Miller Captures Teen Angst In "Young Blood"

When we last saw Bea Miller, formerly known as Beatrice at the time, she was sobbing her little eyes out on a Thanksgiving-night elimination episode of The X Factor USA Season 2. (Worst. Thanksgiving. Ever.) But now, a little less than two years later, Miller finds herself with much to be thankful for. Now, the 15-year-old sensation gets all teen-angsty in her brand new video for "Young Blood," the lead single and title track from her debut album and debut EP. No need to fear the wolves at night... it's just Miller and a group of kindred spirits out on the prowl.
The Instagram sensation and the gravelly-voiced teen made enough of an impression to land a record deal with Hollywood Records, in conjunction with Simon Cowell's Syco label. Not that she's your typical reality-show singer or  Disney diva. The 15-year-old worships The Pretty Reckless, recorded her debut EP full of relatively rebellious pop/rock anthems burning up iTunes and is an outspoken LGBT advocate (she was raised by two awesome moms). And she proved she really does have the "X factor," even if it won't be long before she's made a name for herself outside of Cowell's old show.
Miller wanted to empower the teens who will rule the world when taking about "Young Blood," which has a rebellious edge that representative of what she's about? "It's very dark, but, like I said with the actual song, it's kind of a balance of light and dark. It's weird. I actually saw the rough edit. There are going to be so many more rough edits, but I saw it yesterday, and there's a lot of jump cuts and quick movements but there are also slow moments. It has kids laughing and then kids screaming and crying... it's kind of a balance all of these emotions."
Like the song itself, it makes sense then that the clip would be a fairly gritty affair. Directed by Mark Pellington, the atmospheric video was filmed in what appears to be an abandoned warehouse and finds Miller and a bunch of equally pained-looking teens in an extremely emo mood. It's a great fit for the catchy and surprisingly stirring anthem. "The song has darkness and light within it, which I think is really cool and representative of kids," Miller explained. "We're the future, and we can do whatever we want because someday this world will be ours. Literally, it will be because we will be the adults who are in charge some day."

Jason Mraz & Raining Jane for "Love Someone"

Jason Mraz is back with a music video for the tender song "Love Someone," the lead-off single from the 37-year-old San Diego singer-songwriter's newly released fifth studio album, "Yes!" The 14-song release promised a purely acoustic and more intimate sound. The New Age-minded musician does believe that saying "yes" to other things can open an internal door to creativity, and he tries to say "yes" about things in his own life.
"Love Someone" isn't about a specific personal relationship; instead, the love in question is a more general feeling of being lucky, especially as relates to music. "When I let go in a song I feel like the mental chatter, anything that might show up as doubt or fear, that tends to fall away," Mraz says. "You just lock into one beautiful thing, which I feel is love, and when I sing to someone or with someone I feel that's giving the love away. You get it back in return with how amazing you feel." Mraz sure knows how to make love melodic.
He teamed up with the all-female eclectic rock-folk group, Raining Jane, for "Love Someone," and Mraz wrote it with the lady quartet while walking down a dirt road in Virginia with a small herd of goats. "We all grabbed an instrument and we're walking down the road just making things up," Mraz told Radio.com. "That's really what songwriting is. It's taking risks and making things up and seeing what sticks. It was an observation of how wonderful love is," he added. "When you give it away it comes back to you immediately. It really is what gives us life."
The clip truly captures what it means to fall head over heels for a life partner and the progression of a relationship from its early, carefree stages to the days when having that special person by your side. Zoom in on house at night, Mraz quietly strums on his guitar and backed by his flawless band of lady angels in all white while scenes of couples at varying ages flash on screen. The story follows a couple throughout their relationship and the great lengths it takes to maintain a special bond. Feel the joy, laughter, and tears - mixed with a whole lot of heart in the sweet video.

MIKA travels through time in "Boum Boum Boum"

MIKA travels through time in the newly-premiered music video for his catchy new track, "Boum Boum Boum," the lead (French) single from his yet-untitled forthcoming fourth studio album, which is expected to hit stores in early 2015 via Universal Music. (Yeah, MIKA likes to release his first singles well in advance!) Like a mini-action movie, the clip, literally spans across several centuries, while only being roughly four minutes long is chock full of Old West duels, duels in 1700s France, film noire intrigue, and modern day espionage.
This song, written by MIKA with the collaboration of Doriand, marks the return to the music spotlight for the Lebanese-British singer-songwriter after finishing the promotion of his latest album "The Origin of Love," released in 2012. The racy "Boum Boum Boum," for those non-French speakers, is about a couple that are so into each other that like to 'make love' everywhere possible. To make love is to do ‘boum boum boums.' Love, jealousy, guns and ultimately distaster in nearly every film genre, be it MIKA of Arabia, the Wild Wild West, a James Bond caper, or even gumshoe noir.
"This video was an epic two-day shoot in and around Almeria, Spain," director Jonathan Lia says. "We didn't want to make a literal translation of the lyrics, but rather create a world that was as if you put five of your favorite films in a blender to tell a loose narrative around the themes of sex and violence. The western and film noir vignettes were shot at Western Leone, where films such as The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and A Fistful of Dollars were shot. The fortress in Lawrence Of Arabia was an actual fortress called The Alcazaba in Almeria from the 10th century. The Bond vignette was shot at Hotel Cala Grande. The 1700's Revolution vignettes were shot in Guadix in a farm where they grow trees, hence the symmetrical nature of the forest."
The clip sees MIKA travels back in time and becomes the star of his own Clint Eastwood-esque western, complete with blanket poncho, Sergio Leone-style whistling and saloon bar piano. And that's just the start. He's a gunman in the Wild West, he channels Al Capone in the black and white scenes, he's a powerful Emirates royal, and he even fights in the Napoleon army in France! But not all is past, there a few 'present' scenes where we can see MIKA, sort of a James Bonds replica, who even has his lethal but beautiful female companion, running away from two enemies who try to eliminate him.

Maroon 5 Suffers Tragic Loss in "Maps" Video

Maroon 5 is back on the map with a brand new music video on MTV for their catchy pop-rock song, "Maps," the lead single from Maroon 5's upcoming new fifth studio album "V," which is due September 2nd. It's been two years since a new Maroon 5 song has blasted out of our radios after releasing their hit album "Overexposed" in 2012. Although the teary new video may break our hearts a little more, "Maps" will have you falling back in love with the group in no time! "Maps" is an up-tempo pop/pop rock track, with a breezy guitar lick. It marks Maroon 5's departure from the funkier sound for which the band was originally known.
Lyrically, the song is about the search for love, particularly a love that has been lost and needs to be found. As Adam Levine singing about retaining hope for a relationship despite his girl abandoning him when he was going through a tough time. Levine told Ryan Seacrest the song is about not giving up on a relationship after its been derailed and getting it back on track. "People go through a lot of things and get stepped on and step on others and we all make mistakes," he explained. "It's kind of more about not giving up on something, even though maybe you should."
Not all roads lead to a happy ending despite carefully guided "Maps." Maroon 5 and its frontman had to learn this lesson the hard way in their new cinematic clip, which features select dialogue and sound effects over the actual single itself, features the tale of Levine gone astray, as he retraces his footsteps in a disastrous night that has a life changing (and deadly) side effect and ends in a hospital emergency room. The clip follows a backwards narrative format, beginning a bloody, battered woman in a hospital bed in critical condition, with Levine rushing desperately through the hospital to get to her, fighting off doctors and nurses on his path.
And once he starts retracing the night, it all gets that much darker. A series of flashbacks reveal that the woman is, obviously, no other than Levine's beloved. The duo started off the night getting ready for a soiree of sorts, happily picking out outfits for each other and cuddling. However, as the tequila and beer flows at the seedy house party, Levine's eye begins to wander and he finds the comfort in the arms (and lips) of another brunette babe, which his girlfriend sees from across the room. She leaves the party in a rush, with Levine in tow... but her night has a deadly consequence. The lesson learned?

The Vamps + Demi Lovato for "Somebody to You"

The Vamps unveiled the sun-drenched video to their newly vamped summer jam "Somebody To You," featuring Demi Lovato, the fourth single from the British pop rock band's debut album "Meet The Vamps," which hit no.2 on the U.K. chart back in April. If you need proof that The Vamps were ready for summer, look no further than their "Somebody to You" video! The UK quartet, as "acoustic-driven indie pop," revamped a new version of their single "Somebody to You" by adding former Disney starlet the mix, where Lovato adds vocals to the second verse and the chorus.
This powerful pop song, "Somebody To You," is upbeat, breezy and totally perfect for the warmer weather. As the boys sing about wanting to change their relationship status from contently single to crazy in love. "Look at me now, I'm falling / I can't even talk, still stuttering / This ground of mine keeps shaking," they reveal on the thumping track. Lovato nabs the second verse and sings, "I used to ride around / I didn't want to settle down." The two acts join forces on the final chorus, injecting the little love song that could with a lot more power and sweetness than before.
The English rockers head to California's sunny Malibu beach for the Emil Nava-directed summery clip and perform the sing-a-long pop-rock anthem on a makeshift stage in the sand. The guys soak up the sun, hanging around the beach when they spot a group of girls who catch their attention. The dreamy frontman Bradley Simpson totally falls for Laura Marano after spending time together by playing volleyball, kicking around the soccer ball, and flirting by the swimming pool before the song cuts to Lovato on the beach, as well.
As the sun goes down, the party heats up. The guys host an intimate ocean-front concert for an enthusiastic audience of dancing fans, leading them to clap their way through the chorus, which is where Lovato shows up to perform her guest vocals alongside of the guys. She clearly wasn't available on the same day, so her scenes are a little disjointed. The "Heart Attack" hitmaker just sits around and looks pretty before twirling in some fluttering curtains. Obviously, she steals the show. Lovato's incredible voice complements The Vamps' and together, the musicians sound amazing. Watch Lovato glams up The Vamps below.
