Listen to The Veronicas 'Untouched'

If you were looking for this week's guilty pleasure, I think I might have found just the right track for you.

Check out The Veronicas' fast-paced new single "Untouched" that is taken from their new album "Hook Me Up." The twins from Brisbane, Australia first hit the scene back in 2005 with their debut single "Forever" that became a huge teen hit across MySpace and other social networking sites.

Jessica and Lisa Origliasso turn it up a few notches on this new single that introduces a brand-new, electro-driven sound. The song is a peppy brew filled with ber dramatic strings, hook-laden synths and a buzzing bassline that tells a story about teenage yearning for a little love.

The sisters whote their sophomore album together with veteran hitmakers like Shelly Peiken (Christina Aguilera), Greg Wells (Mika), John Feldmann (The Used, Good Charlotte) and Billy Steinberg who wrote "Like A Virgin" for Madonna, "True Colors" for Cyndi Lauer and "Eternal Flame" for The Bangles. "Untouched" was written by up and coming songwriter Toby Gad who is also responsible for Fergie's evergreen "Big Girls Don't Cry." Catch the video for "Untouched" here.
