British Pop-Rock boy band on the rise Lawson have teamed up with the Georgia hip-hop player B.o.B, released the music video for their new song, "Brokenhearted," the lead single taken from their upcoming as-yet-untitled sophomore studio album, that's scheduled for release later this year via Global Talent Records, under exclusive licence to Polydor. B.o.B has delivered a Pop-friendly verse on this catchy little summer single, which isn't actually released until July 7th.
"Brokenhearted," was written by frontman Andy Brown and was recorded in London earlier in 2013. About it, Brown has explained: "'Brokenhearted' is a revenge song about karma. I had a lot of fun writing this one. I'm sure many people will be able to relate to it!" It's fairly by-the-numbers stuff, but it might help give them a little stateside push. The release of "Brokenhearted" follows Lawson's huge success in 2012 with their debut album "Chapman Square," with Coldplay-inspired anthemic pop-rock songs including "When She Was Mine" and "Standing In The Dark."
“Brokenhearted,” is a chewier nugget: More Maroon 5 than Chris Martin in its jangly, funked-out vibe. Still soulful. But mostly just really, really good-looking. As the four-piece pop rock band have described the song as a "turning point" for the band. "'Brokenhearted' is definitely a bit of a turning point for us as a band," Brown has explained. "It's my favorite song we have recorded to date. It was a dream to get B.o.B on the track," he continued. "The whole band are huge fans of his. He really took the song to the next level and we had a great time shooting the video with him."
The clip was directed by Declan Whitebloom and filmed out in the Hollywood Hills in California. It follows the story of a breakup, sees a mystery blonde female attempting to bury the memory of her ex-lover and has to watch her split with Brown through a tabloid lens, and as you might expect, it's pretty much the pits. B.o.B pops up next with an energetic, sunshiny verse, and what used to be a heartbroken cry-fest turns into a rooftop rager. Only problem is, Brown's ex is out for a night out on the town, and little does she know that the party she's attending features Lawson as the musical guest. It's basically every broken up couple's worst nightmare, and it kind of makes us glad we're not dating anyone at the moment, kind of.
