HEROES star Hayden Panettiere has been given a boost as she attempts to crack the pop music market - bosses at U.S. clothing and footwear company Candie's have funded her new video.

The promo for new song Wake Up Call - a song written by the brains behind hits for Geri Halliwell and Diana Ross, will feature in new Candie's TV ads.

The actress says, "The concept of my video is to give a guy who doesn't treat his girlfriend well a wake up call and show him all the different aspects of a woman's personality.

"Candie's is the perfect fit because their styles are diverse and benefit the video, as they show off all the different sides of my character."
