THE VERONICAS - Hook Me Up
Multi-platinum selling artists & ARIA award winners The Veronicas are back with a new studio album - 'Hook Me Up'. Combining the girls' powerful vocals & signature harmonies with killer electro beats has resulted in a dramatic new sound for Brisbane twins Lisa and Jess Origliasso. "It's been over two years since we wrote the first record so I guess our musical tastes have changed a little bit," offers Lisa. Veronicas fans are clearly ready for this new sound, with first single 'Hook Me Up' being a radio & chart smash, peaking at #4 on the airplay chart and going GOLD in Australia! Recorded in their home in the Hollywood Hills, 'Hook Me Up' sees The Veronicas collaborating with such song writing talents as Shelly Peiken (Christine Aguilera) and Greg Wells (Mika), John Feldham (Good Charlotte, The Used) and the legendary Billy Steinberg (Madonna). The most prolific and personal song writing partnership on the album is with German songwriter Toby Gad. Eight of the album's 12 songs were written with Gad, including opening track 'Untouched', to the emotionally charged 'This Is How It Feels' and 'Revenge Is Sweeter', through to the album's dance floor hits 'Take Me On The Floor' and 'Popular'. Gad, responsible for Fergie's smash hit of 2007 'Big Girls Don't Cry', tapped into the personal experiences that the girls were going through at the time. Lisa laughs, "With Toby, we'd gossip with him and tell him all the drama in our lives." Jess continues "That's why a lot of those songs come across as emotional and intense." After the runaway success of their debut album 'The Secret Life Of ' which has sold in excess of 300,000 copies in Australia alone, 'Hook Me Up' is an extremely personal album that celebrates The Veronicas growth as songwriters and artists. The Veronicas will be touring 'Hook Me Up' nationally for the next two months. Tickets are on sale now. 'Hook Me Up' is out now.
