More about: Yungblud

Who is Yungblud? - With a marmite public presence, the singer’s career has always been shrouded in a kind of mystery as people wonder whether he can truly be legit. But with the announcement of his upcoming self-title album, the questions might be laid to rest. 

Announced via a livestream where he got a tattoo of the albums ‘mantra’, the third album seems like it’ll be his most personal yet - stripping back some of the character to reveal the person underneath. Following the recent singles of 80s influenced ‘The Funeral’ and the his new collab with WILLOW - maybe we’re stepping out of emo and into something a little more nuanced here.

In the announcement, the singer said: “everything up to this moment has been a complete explosion of uncensored expression, where I just told the truth and sang about what I felt in that exact moment. the difference here is that i have thought and felt this record so deeply. i went to a part of myself that I didn’t know was there. i studied it, i bathed in the emotion, tried to solve the equation and come up with an answer (at least for now) from love to pain, adoration to abandonment, laughter to betrayal. my message is the same, it will always be; i will continue to be nothing but myself and encourage others to do the same. there is simply no other option.”

YUNGBLUD arrives 2 September via Locomotion/ Polydor Records
