English pop trio Scouting for Girls have unveiled a behind-the-scenes video which takes a look at the hard work - and barrels of laughter - that went into making their recent music video ‘Summertime in the City’ - check it out below.
With the band recently unveiling the new music video/single and announcing the release of their ‘The Light Between Us’, they’ve now given their super-keen fans another Scouting for Girls fix with an insight to the making of the video which hit our screens earlier in the summer.
Scouting For Girls return to the scene as one of the biggest pop bands in the world, with over two million record sales, four BRIT Awards, two Ivor Novello nominations, and four Top 10 singles. ‘The Light Between Us’ is an album full of love songs recorded in ten studios across the world with five producers, and has been two years in the making. Roy Stride comments on the beginning of the recording process saying: "We wanted to make an album with a concept behind it, we tried but the songs were rubbish, so we decided to write an album of singles instead!”
Best friends Roy, Greg and Pete hatched a plan to kickstart the British summer with their new single 'Summertime In The City'. Stride says “I’m counting on the song bringing the sun out. Imagine it as a telethon. The more people play it, the more the sun will shine. If it’s a hit, we’ll reach our target of endless glorious days. We could end up with an Indian Summer that lasts until November.”
The plays are already racking up - the song made its radio debut on Fearne Cotton’s Radio 1 show last week and looks set to ape the straight-to-the-top-of-the-charts success of 'This Ain't a Love Song', the Ivor Novello-nominated first single from Scouting For Girls’s last album, 2010’s 'Everybody Wants To Be On TV'. One of the highlights of the band’s recent run of shows and festival sets, the classic-sounding Scouting song is already a favourite with fans.
So, ever wondered how they made the video? Check out the clip below and your prayers will be answered.
