YUNGBLUD has just announced part one of his ambitious
double-album, Idols.
27-year-old Dominic Harrison will be unveiling the first
12-track record on June 20 via Locomotion/Island – and it’ll include
recent singles Hello Heaven, Hello and Lovesick Lullaby, plus 10 more songs.
Brought to life with the help of producer Matt Schwartz, composer
Bob Bradley and guitarist Adam Warrington, Dom explains that, “I wanted to make
a project that didn’t focus on singles or anything else except feeling and
world-building… A project with no limitations.”
Of its title, he shares: “We turn to others for an identity
before turning to ourselves. Self-belief, self-reclamation, self-evolution and
change. As we grow up, we lose our belief in magic and mystery. We begin to
rationalise everything; our cage walls build up.
“We compare ourselves to 15 different people before we’ve even
had our breakfast.”
