Boston alternative rock group, Boys Like Girls have scored another hit with their latest single, "Two Is Better Than One," and that's partly thanks to country pop artist Taylor Swift, who sings harmony on the track. The video for the song has just premiered on MTV networks, but sadly Swift isn't in it, she was on tour and couldn't make the shoot.The Swift-assisted single "Two Is Better Than One" is written by Martin Johnson, the Second single released from BLG's sophomore studio album "Love Drunk," which was recorded in both New York and Vancouver, sent to mainstream radios in US on October 19, and reached No.8 on Billboard Hot 200, broke into the top 20 at Top 40 radio, and reached the top 20 on the iTunes Singles chart. The album has also received glowing reviews from diverse outlets like People, Alternative Press, The New York Times and Billboard Magazine, who cemented their place in pop music by writing, "...these songs will be heard for many years to come."
The Meiert Avis directed video is one-part love story, one-part performance piece. It tracks the budding, blossoming relationship between two, unnamed characters, cross-cut with the band performing the song in a rain-slicked warehouse. Lead singer Martin Johnson says, "It's a very montage-y video of a couple with love, and lost love. It's a little more serious. It was really fun to shoot. I can't wait until everyone sees it."
The band are continuing to solidify their success in pop music, and will continue their reign on national TV with performances on MTV's "It's On with Alexa Chung" on next Tuesday, and ABC's "The View" on Tuesday, December 22. The band will also share the Z100 Jingle Ball bill with the likes of John Mayer, Taylor Swift and others at the sold out concert being held on today at Madison Square Garden.
Maybe their next successful song would be"One Is Better Thank two".
