‘Lovesick Lullaby’, the new single from Yungblud, is out now (listen HERE). The brazen, uptempo track will be followed by a stylish video directed by Charlie Sarsfield, which goes live at 4pm today. The 27-year-old artist from Doncaster saw his last two albums hit Number 1 in the UK and break into the Billboard Hot 100, and he has amassed over 6 billion streams globally.
In the new music video, Yungblud, clad in Burberry, is seen in the back of a Mini Cooper before arriving to live it up at a packed-out pub. The video is peppered with pop culture references, including a clear nod to the iconic 1982 Maxell “Break the Sound Barrier” advert, with Yungblud posing in an armchair, blasted by the force of the speaker. The track itself is an unapologetic, in-your-face anthem that celebrates the best of British pop and rock.
Speaking about the new single, Yungblud said, ‘Making this song was a f*cking party and you can hear that on the recording.
He added, “[I tried to] let my subconscious do a lot of the talking and then make sense of my words the following afternoon in a kitchen, hungover, eating fish and chips with a cup of tea.
“I’ve been on a journey trying to find meaning in different places all over the world, for which I am forever grateful, but it felt as though my feet left the ground a little too much and I had to bring myself back… to British music, to British art and culture.”
