New York pop duo, A Great Big World, nabbed Darren Criss and Jessica Szohr to star in the band’s new music video for their track “Already Home.”
Glee’s Darren Criss and Gossip Girl’s Jessica Szohr feature as long-distance lovers in “Already Home,” the new music video by the New York based duo A Great Big World.
The clip, which is a very literal interpretation of the song’s lyrics, follows the story of an East Coast-West Coast relationship and shows the couple (Criss in Los Angeles, Szohr in New York City) going about their separate lives but constantly mirroring one another. Watch the video below.
A Great Big World, which consists of writing partners Ian Axel and Chad Vaccarino, officially adopted their band name in 2012. After touring with artists including Ingrid Michaelson and Glee’s Matthew Morrison, they gained notice when their song “This is the New Year” was covered by New Directions in the Glee season four episode “Naked.”
A Great Big World attracted more mainstream success when another song, “Say Something,” was featured on So You Think You Can Dance and subsequently re-released after Christina Aguilera became a fan and joined the group as a guest vocalist on the track. A Great Big World’s debut album, Is There Anybody Out There?, was released on January 21, 2014 and debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200.
“Already Home” is far from Darren Criss’s first music video credit. The actor can be seen in over ten, including “Skin and Bones,” “Magnolia Wine” and “Dress and Tie” by fellow University of Michigan alum and Team StarKid pal Charlene Kaye. “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” by Katy Perry and “Kangaroo Court,” as well as “I Sold My Bed, But Not My Stereo” by Capital Cities. Jessica Szohr has also featured in a few, including most predominately in Taylor Swift’s “22.”
