Diana Vickers' “The Boy Who Murdered Love” Music Video Premiere

Diana Vickers drives herself mad trying to get over her cruel lover in her newly-debuted music video. The X Factor star plays the angel with wings, while her lover gets a pair of devil horns in her “The Boy Who Murdered Love” music video.

“The Boy Who Murdered Love” is the second single to be taken from Diana's album “Songs from the Tainted Cherry Tree”, which debuted on the UK album Chart at number 1.

Diana said about her song “I wrote a song called The Boy Who Murdered Love and there's a line in there about a tainted cherry tree and I found it very poetic. It painted imagery of the forbidden fruit and Adam and Eve and this boy that's absolutely beautiful and so tempting but so wrong for you!”
