Exclusive: Listen To Big Time Rush's 'Big Time Movie' Soundtrack
On-the-rise pop quartet and Nickelodeon stars Big Time Rush will deliver their best John, Paul, George and Ringo [John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr (also known as "The Fab Four") impressions in their London-set feature film debut, "Big Time Movie," which premieres on Saturday, March 10 on Nickelodeon. The "Big Time Movie" official soundtrack, which features the BTR boys covering six Beatles classics, will be released on March 6 (you can pre-order the album on iTunes here), but take an exclusive listen to all half-dozen songs a week early [here on Billboard.com]:
In "Big Time Movie," the four Big Time Rush members (Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow, Carlos Pena Jr. and Logan Henderson) head to the U.K. in a mission to save the world that involves jumping out of helicopters, a teen spy named Penny Lane, and a powerful anti-gravitational device named "The Beetle." Maslow tells Billboard.com that the movie is "'Austin Powers' meets 'James Bond,' with the Beatles," and that Big Time Rush did their best to honor the Fab Four with takes on "A Hard Day's Night," "Help" and "Revolution," among others.
"We were all a little nervous -- I mean, they're the greatest band in history," says Maslow. "We weren't trying to replicate them, but wanted to pay homage to them as much as possible."
The "Big Time Movie" premiere and accompanying soundtrack was preceded by the November release of Big Time Rush's second studio album, "Elevate," which has sold 208,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. On Monday, the band announced the itinerary for its massive summer tour, which kicks off July 5 in Columbus, Ohio and will run through mid-September. Maslow says that the trek will include "bigger venues, more songs, and more pyro -- that's my personal favorite."
