Allen Stone, the 25-year-old soul singer from Washington, spreads confetti and unity in his new video for "Celebrate Tonight."

Sporting his signature horn-rimmed glasses, Stone lights up an otherwise subdued celebration at a senior center. His powerful vocals pull the residents from their seats and engages them in spirited, synchronized clapping. The track originally appeared on Stone's self-released, self-titled debut album in 2011, which was given wide release by ATO Records last year.

"'Celebrate Tonight' is a very special song to me," the singer tells Rolling Stone. "This video concept we were able to do brings this song fully to life. I hope it simply communicates happiness and joy and love that we as humans can create and share with one another, regardless of age, race or gender."

Stone plays SXSW on March 13th before heading overseas for a string of performances in Australia and Japan. He returns to the United States in mid-April for more dates.

Daniel Radcliffe to Play Allen Ginsberg

Daniel Radcliffe attends 'The Woman in Black' World Premiere at the Royal Festival Hall in London.

For his next act of wizardry, Daniel Radcliffe will portray the Beat poet Allen Ginsberg in an indie film about a real-life murder mystery involving several of the founding Beat writers. Radcliffe has been officially confirmed as a cast member in Kill Your Darlings, according to casting director Laura Rosenthal.

Kill Your Darlings tells the story of a murder committed by Lucien Carr – a friend of Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs – in New York in 1944. At one point, Jesse Eisenberg was expected to play Ginsberg, with Chris Evans portraying Kerouac. In addition to Radcliffe, the film will now feature Jack Huston as Kerouac, Dane DeHaan as Carr and Elizabeth Olsen as Edie Parker, Kerouac's first wife. It is expected to hit theaters next year.

The movie will be directed by newcomer John Krokidas. "I'm very, very enthused for that script and that young director," Radcliffe recently told MTV News, before his involvement was confirmed. Radcliffe, whose first big post-Potter film, The Woman in Black, opens February 3rd, just wrapped his nearly yearlong stint on Broadway in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.
