Ben Kweller Recruits Selena Gomez For New Video

(Radio.com) Amongst music's unlikely pairings, that of indie-pop elder statesman Ben Kweller and regular pop tween graduate Selena Gomez rates as highly unlikely, but that's just what happens in the video for "Hold On," the song from the film Rudderless, in which both have roles.

The flick is directed by William H. Macy, who pops in the music video on keys to complete the unexpected scenario, which might be more jarring if the song wasn't quite so breezy and pleasant. Could Selena Gomez be making the full transition away from her bubble-gum pop days, straight past her sexy-gum pop days, and into her sugar free-gum pop days? You be the judge.

Rudderless also stars Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) and Russell Hammond (Billy Crudup), and will see its theatrical release on October 17. For those in hope that the soundtrack features more Gomez, it doesn't, though Crudup sings a couple of tunes on the upcoming release.
