Today's Pick

Christina Perri has premiered the full-length exclusive clip from The Hollywood Reporter for "Distance," Wednesday night before its official debut during ABC's show "Revenge" recap episode, "From the Beginning," and then it goes live at the ABC Music Lounge online. The 25-year-old singer/songwriter, is originally from Philadelphia, got her big break when her song "Jar of Hearts," after it was featured on Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance." The track was an unexpected success across the United States.
You may have seen and heard Perri's "Distance," the third single off her debut album, "Lovestrong," in commercials for "Revenge." Featuring her good friend Jason Mraz, it is a wonderfully soft and elegant song, full of trailing notes over a quiet and tranquil guitar strummed ever so lightly. Perri, herself, said she kept the record a secret, as she was so excited to be working with Mraz, who can be heard harmonizing with the female vocalist over the pre-chorus and chorus.
On her official website's blog, Perri revealed more about the message behind the album title. She stated that since the release of "Jar of Hearts" she has been overwhelmed with the emotion from fans who have related to the song. Perri revealed that fans helped her understand the ups and downs of love, which led her to create "Lovestrong." Selecting songs from her "arsenal," Perri picked her favorite songs that she felt fans needed to hear, the songs she needed to give away and the songs she needed to get through. Listening to every intention, story, battle wound, melody and word, Perri revealed that she discovered the main theme of the album: love and strength.
"Distance," is a fantastic arrangement and well composed. The lyrics expose the natural sensitivity of every relationship, which I'm certain that those who have actually been in love have felt and understood. Perri always seems like she is in a surreal world. The world is realizing how much amazing talent she has and she provides us with the most amazing red carpet dresses and amazing performances! The new video for "Distance," features Nick Wechsler as the unlucky in love Jack Porter and plenty of memorable scenes from the series. And at the end, you'll see if Jack finally gets the girl. Poor thing.
