Rixton Performing At A Gatsby-themed Party In "Wait On Me"

Posted by Kevin Z. Rong Wednesday, October 1, 2014 0 comments

The past few months have been pretty crazy for the English pop/R&B band Rixton. They just wrapped up their sold out US headlining tour so now it's time to give us something new by debuting the "interactive" vintage-styled music video to their current hit single, "Wait On Me," the lead-off single off British sensations debut full-length album, "Let The Road," which coming out on January 6 of 2015.
Following the success of "Me And My Broken Heart," the boys of British band Rixton, Jake Roche, Charley Bagnall, Danny Wilkin, and Lewi Morgan, are back with another tune, "Wait On Me," and somehow, it's equal parts Maroon 5 ("One More Night") and Rihanna ("What's My Name"). The Wayne Hector co-written catchy pop tune is basically just this song about a guy telling a girl, "Look no further, for I am the best lover there is!" But, like, in a sexier, cooler way. Oh, and did I mention that the track rhymes "body" with "body"? Well, it does and it's brilliant. On the chorus.
Not only is the song awesome, but the cool new interactive visual is amazing! It is set in the 1920's and is quite unique and the viewer gets to "chose their fate" throughout the video which asks you questions and allows you to click and respond and that affects its outcome. Your decisions effect how it all turns out, which in our case led to Roche hiding in a wine cellar and getting in a lamp fight, but the outcome can be totally different for you depending on what you pick. Check out the video to see how it works!
This video was directed by fourclops ::) and Cameron Duddy. In video, the band is performing a show at a Gatsby-themed mansion party and the host's wife shows interest in Rixton's frontman Roche, who will do more than just singing songs. He'll 'mingle' with a pretty lady at an upstairs room but before "it" happens the mafia boss who hired the band will attack when he finds out he's trying to "get it" with one of his girls. Thankfully, the two newly-met lovebirds will find their way out. Fans have the ability to click through the video and ultimately chose what happens to Roche. Check out the video below and play along.

British boy band Rixton are the latest recording artists to emerge from major YouTube success into the pop music big leagues. Rixton are known for creating strong cover versions of everything from Chris Brown's "Don't Wake Me Up" to Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble." After grabbing everyone's attention and promoting the first buzz single "Make Out," a guitar-driven, hook-laced party anthem last October, the guys are back with their engaging sound to American audiences with the brand new sultry "Me and My Broken Heart."
Inspired by the soulful pop sounds of Maroon 5 and Bruno Mars, The Manchester-based boyband offer up a wealth of addictive pop/rock/R&B built on their own brand of songwriting, instrumentation, and vocal harmonies. Working with pop producer Benny Blanco, the ridiculously-catchy "Me And My Broken Heart" sounds like the old-school Maroon 5 on a very good day with its soulful vocal, funk-heavy bass and playful guitars. The sing-a-long chorus doesn't hurt either.
"Me and My Broken Heart" kicks off simply with piano and the lead vocals of Jake Roche. The sound is appealing, but it will take some maturation for Roche to match the voice of Maroon 5's Adam Levine. He remains one of the most technically skilled of vocalists in mainstream pop today. The vocals here are not his match in resonance or range. Another Maroon 5 echo is evident as the reggae-inflected beat of "Me and My Broken Heart," is highly reminiscent of that animating Maroon 5's massive No.1 hit "One More Night." The overall sound here goes down very easy, but it lacks originality.
The lyrics of "Me and My Broken Heart" match the pleading lead vocals quite well. The hook, "I'm hoping it might kick start me and my broken heart," is memorable. Rixton has shot a music video for "Me and My Broken Heart" with Cameron Duddy. In the 'Lock, Stock'-esque clip, we see the foursome (Jake Roche, Danny Wilkin, Charley Bagnell and Lewi Morgan) hit the boxing ring, playing poker and all fall victim for the tricks to a group of attractive female con artists and stuff, and later making a run for it with bags of cash in hand.
