The Veronicas start a Love Revolution in their upbeat & inspiring If You Love Someone video. The uplifting video sees the twin sisters, Lisa and Jessica Origliasso, and a whole group of friends fight for a Love Revolution – putting flowers on police cars, sticking up inspiring messages and generally calling for real change. “Our love for music is only matched by our desire to ‘be the change’ and ‘find the voice’ to speak up, for ourselves, and the world around us,” the twins posted alongside the video premiere. “This video is merely meant to inspire a light within you, that we hope will one day spark into a fire to light the way for others. Because at the end of the day, there is no greater lesson to learn, than the grand lesson of LOVE, FREEDOM, ACCEPTANCE, COMPASSION, for ourselves, and for others.” Right on, girls! We’re with you!

This catchy, socially conscious anthem is another world from their last chart-topping ballad You Ruin Me. It’s a great radio song and looks set to repeat the success of the last single. Both are taken from the Australian duo’s third self-titled album.
The overdue return of the Veronica’s after years of label limbo was musically, one of this year’s high points. They began recording their 3rd album in 2010 but the work was never finished due to a conflict with Warner Bros Records. They finally parted company with the label late in 2013 and announced that they would return to music after signing a new record deal with Sony Music in March this year.
“When we made the video for #IfYouLoveSomeone, it was important that we bought up issues that are worth discussing! The core thread of those msgs, revolve around integrity,” the Australian sisters wrote on their Twitter account. “To make a difference. Defend the planet. Defend human rights. Animal rights. Stand up to everyday corruption.”
“We want to inspire you guys to join us. Ask yourself what you believe in,” Lisa and Jess continued. “Ask what we can all do to make these changes in our own lives! This isn’t a backpack revolution where we slap on a few badges.. this is a call for real change. Change always starts with questions.”
