BOYS LIKE GIRLS
EXCLUSIVELY DEBUT MUSIC VIDEO FOR
“BE YOUR EVERYTHING”
TODAY (8/14) ON VEVO
SONG AVAILABLE NOW ON ‘CRAZY WORLD’ EP VIA ITUNES
Today (August 14), multi-platinum pop-rock band BOYS LIKE GIRLS exclusively debuted the music video for “Be Your Everything,” the first single from the band’s forthcoming third album CRAZY WORLD (Columbia Records), available this fall. The debut is currently available on VEVO and can be viewed here: http://smarturl.it/byevideo. The video, conceptualized by singer/songwriter/guitarist MARTIN JOHNSON and directed by David McClister, features actressAllie Gonino of ABC Family’s “The Lying Game” and another ABC Family show “10 Things I Hate About You.”
“It was an incredible experience being able to work so hand-in-hand with a director on a concept,” says JOHNSON. David [McClister] was awesome and was very open to helping bring our vision to life. I’m very happy about the fact that we were able to shoot a video filled with beautiful imagery while also making a subtle statement on the state of the world and the amount of waste humans create every day, and the unflattering future of our world if that continues. It was an absolute pleasure working with Allie, she was very open to our ideas and I think she looks amazing in the video.”
About the song “Be Your Everything,” JOHNSON adds, “It’s a great transition from where the band was. We came from a wall of guitars, and the sound has evolved.” He adds: “The only time I really express my feelings is when I’m writing music. That’s how it’s been since I was a little kid. This song is about the moment when it becomes okay to say, I love you.”
Coming off sales of 1.17 million albums and 8 million tracks worldwide, BOYS LIKE GIRLS recently released theirCRAZY WORLD EP July 17 on Columbia Records via iTunes. The EP features three songs off the full-length album (the first single “Be Your Everything,” “Life Of The Party” and “The First Time”) and fans who purchase the EP will get the full length album at a discounted price upon its release as part of iTunes “Complete My Album.” The band also announced a coast-to-coast co-headlining national tour with THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS, kicking off September 13 in Hampton Beach, NH.
