Today's Pick

Boys Like Girls have released the video for the track "Be Your Everything," the first song taken off pop rock band's upcoming comeback third full-length studio album, "Crazy World," which reportedly is split between rock and dance, were clear in the MTV interview that they weren't making "a disco record," is expected to release this fall.
After returning from their brief hiatus, Boys Like Girls are back with a brand new sound that is exemplified perfectly in "Be Your Everything." They've got that same angsty charm as before, but now it's wrapped in pop melodies instead of punk ones. The quarter pop-rockers re-emerged at this year's Bamboozle performing several new songs from their upcoming record. It should come as no surprise that we have a little thing for Boys Like Girls and their makeout-able ballad, "Be Your Everything," which is set in a futuristic, post-apocalyptic world where "the world has littered itself to death."
The working title for “Be Your Everything” might as well have been “Two Is Better Than One.” It's another ballad, along the same lines as Taylor Swift's; the vocals keen up into falsetto and down into strength, and the guitars lilt the same way. The lyrics are what you'd expect–being on a mission to be shelter from the storm and your everything, you know how it goes. It is a perfectly competent, perfectly safe ballad, it's going to soundtrack a lot of relationships, and it is not risky at all.
The video isn't exactly what you'd think a video for a sweet, sentimental love song should be. It features the boys performing their new jam amidst the cinematic expanses of an apocalyptic desert, as frontman Martin Johnson searches for, and finally reunites with, his love interest. "I'm searching for life on the planet and there's one girl left and she's found the last flower on earth," Johnson told MTV News. "I don't know if it's love or procreation, or what it is but humanity will survive. We'll get through it." As they roam the town trying to find each other, puppy-dog-eyed glances are stolen until eventually the two connect and realize they were meant to be.

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.

The single was premiered on MySpace and was released via iTunes on June 30, and it was also sent to mainstream radios on July 7.

The new music video for "Love Drunk" began shooting on June 29, and features American actress and singer Ashley Tisdale. "Ashley was awesome! She played the lead girl," Martin Johnson, the lead vocals says. "We did this faux arcade set-up with the band as 'carnival' guys. She makes all the guys in the arcade fall for her and then it has a surprise ending."
