Following last year's 'hope for the underrated youth' EP, Yungblud has confirmed his second album will release this year! and the lead single 'Weird!' is out tomorrow.

 

I've liked everything he's released over the last 2 years, and he's described the new single as inspired by LCD Soundsystem and Depeche Mode so I'm quite excited for it.

Really enjoying this on the first couple of listens, I love the synth-rock direction!

 

Absolutely LOVING this! I’m a huge fan but this is totally the right direction in regards to it being more accessible and commercial.

I wish I didn't hate this guy but fuuuuck me what is this tripe :puke2:

I've been listening to this a lot, and I can't not hear 'Give Yourself a Try' in the chorus. :lol:

 

Not that that's a bad thing though!

Tbh this is Give Yourself A Try without a horrifically grating instrumental and I'm digging it :lol:

 

I liked his parts of 11 Minutes and Tongue Tied - and just realised he did I Love You, Will You Marry Me too which I like

Maybe we should ask Bjork? :D

Oops I actually like this song

 

I need to stay away from the music video because his facial expressions still make me die a little inside. But the song itself is actually good stuff, his voice is much less annoying than usual and the instrumental is great. Kinda sounds like what I was hoping The 1975's new song would sound like.

This is growing on me a lot! It's The 1975 but better

So good - a shame it doesn't appear to be doing anything yet.

I wasn't expecting it to sadly "outside the fanbase" :/ though it is #158 on Apple and climbing!

 

I expect the album will have really strong sales at least.

^^ That’s the thing though he has a huge fan base but can’t seem to turn that into a hit.

 

I’ve seen him live 7 times now, each show was sold out and when I saw him at the NME awards he was one of the main artists and done a fan meet up afterwards which was crazy. I guess it’s good he’s appeared on Apple but I’d have also thought his target market would be heavily into streaming too.

 

Anyway mini rant over :drama: :lol:

Weird is on R1’s playlist now! cheer:

 

This is growing on me immensely

Maybe we should ask Bjork? :D

Well if Bjork doesn’t like it then it must be an objectively bad song because Bjork is always right :angel:

Not part of the album of course, but a Yungblud remix of 24kGoldn's 'City of Angels' it out now! Finally taking the song to a respectable length :P

 

Strawberry Lipstick is out on 16th July

Can't wait! Hoping for a punk banger based on the single art
