More about: The 1975

The 1975's Matt Healy has carried out a revealing interview with The Guardian ahead of the band's forthcoming album and tour, during which he criticised the likes of Justin Bieber for "talking about nothingness."

After revealing new single 'Love Me' last month, the band recently announced that their second album will be called I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It, and will be released in February.

Lead singer Matt Healy spoke to The Guardian ahead of the album's release, and discussed, in his usual candid manner, his views on modern music. "That new Justin Bieber song – ‘What do you mean? When you nod your head yes but you wanna say no’ – can we stop talking about girls who don’t know what they want?" he said.

"Can we stop talking about nothingness? No one’s asking you to inspire a revolution, but inspire something."

He also insisted, "I have 450,000 young women [followers on Twitter] and I genuinely believe the empowerment of young women is the most important thing in the world and will lead to the destruction of injustice. So what do I do with that? I try to guide them."
