[VIDEO PREMIERE] CHRISTINA PERRI "A THOUSAND YEARS"

Twilight fans will be beside themselves when they realise that the video for Christina Perri's latest single A Thousand Years, taken from the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1 soundtrack, contains footage from the upcoming movie.

The track, written by Perri, serves as the second single from the album following Bruno Mars It Will Rain which was released back in September.

Listen to It Will Rain

Says Perri of writing the track:

"I wrote [the song] for Edward and Bella in their perspective. It's the purest love song I think I could have possibly written. It's about the simplest kind of love and a timeless love." She further explained, "For me, it just has to do most with the love story between Edward and Bella. I feel like it's 'Romeo and Juliet,' and they just happen to be vampires and there's werewolves. I loved the story from day one."

A Thousand Years is available digitally today [iTunes]

CHRISTINA PERRI'S "JAR OF HEARTS" FINALLY IMPACTING AUSTRALIA

US singer/songwriter Christina Perri has finally taken Australia by storm. Her debut single, Jar of Hearts, has been released locally and here, locals love it. The track this week bulleted into the top ten on the ARIA Singles Chart, and currently it sits at #2 on the iTunes Singles Chart.

Jar of Hearts, written by Perri herself and songwriters Drew Lawrence and Barrett Yeretsian, peaked at #17 on the Billboard Hot 100 last May. Elsewhere globally, it's been pretty quiet for the 24 year old who originates from Philadelphia.

If you're a lover of Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson or even early Alanis Morissette - Christina Perri is for you. Jar of Hearts was written by Perri about an ex who wanted to rekindle a past relationship. Now ladies, we all know that's a no-no. Just listen to tracks like Since U Been Gone by Ms Clarkson, or You Oughta Know by Ms Morissette.

Jar of Hearts is available digitally today, and Perri's debut album lovestrong will be released in Australia in July. Elsewhere globally, it's available today [ITUNES]
