Info for weird!

Mit seinem ersten Album „21st Century Liability“ mischte Dominic Harrison aka YUNGBLUD 2018 die Musikszene auf. Seitdem überschlagen sich die Ereignisse. Duette mit Halsey, MGK, Dan Reynolds (Imagine Dragons), Marshmello, Bring Me The Horizon und Travis Barker, dazu Beiträge auf den Soundtracks zu "Tote Mädchen lügen nicht Season 2+3" und "Fast & Furious 2019" stehen bereits in der Vita. Dazu brachte der Crossover Punker 2019 seine EP "The Underrated Youth" auf den Markt und steigerte seine Social Media Reichweite und die weltweiten Ticketsales in fantastische Höhen.

Über sich selbst sagt er, er sei ein sozial bewusster Künstler, der keine Angst davor habe, genreübergreifende Protestsongs zu veröffentlichen.

Nach den Singles “Weird!” und “Strawberry Lipstick”" hat Yungblud zeitgleich mit der Album-Ankündigung den neuen Track “god save me, but don”t drown me out” veröffentlicht. Yungblud hat den Song zusammen mit Chris Greatti (Poppy, Grimes) und Zakk Cervini (Bishop Briggs, Machine Gun Kelly) produziert.

"Weird!" ist Yungbluds bisher emotional komplexestes Werk. Mit Cervini, Greatti und Matt Schwartz (Cold War Kids, Bullet For My Valentine, Massive Attack) nahm er das Album in den Studios in London und Los Angeles auf. Yungblud sagt über das Album: “Es ist eine Geschichte des Erwachsenwerdens und der Selbstakzeptanz und Befreiung, in Bezug auf Sex und Geschlecht und Drogen und Herzschmerz und all die anderen Wendungen, die wir im Leben durchmachen.” Er beschreibt “Weird!” als eine Episode der TV-Serie “Skins” in Albumform und fügt hinzu: “Ich hoffe, es gibt den Leuten das Gefühl, dass es in Ordnung ist, sich fehl am Platz, anders oder seltsam zu fühlen, denn das Leben ist seltsam  —  aber das ist das Schöne daran. Versuch also nie, es als jemand anderes zu leben. Lebe es wie du.”

YUNGBLUD
English musician Yungblud twists genres and societal conventions, incorporating rock, punk, and hip-hop into a rebellious mix that endeared him to the outcast masses around the globe. Blending punk spirit with pop savvy, he made a steady climb in the late 2010s before scoring a trio of hits with Halsey, Machine Gun Kelly, Dan Reynolds, and frequent collaborator Travis Barker. While his full-length debut, 21st Century Liability, landed in 2018, he made his mainstream breakthrough a year later with the EP The Underrated Youth. He rode that wave of success into 2020 with his sophomore album, Weird!

Born Dominic Harrison in Yorkshire, the singer/songwriter was raised in a musical family. His father was a vintage guitar dealer and his grandfather played with T. Rex. Influenced by Bob Dylan, the Clash, and the Beatles, he played guitar and sang from a young age. In 2017, when he was 19, he issued his debut single, "King Charles," a genre-blending protest song that fell somewhere between early Arctic Monkeys, Jamie T, and Rat Boy. He followed with the song "I Love You, Will You Marry Me," which incorporated some dub and grime elements. A major-label deal with Geffen yielded Yungblud's first collection, an eponymous 2018 EP that included his first two singles alongside three new tracks. His debut full-length, 21st Century Liability, appeared in May of that year and made a solid chart showing in Australia and Belgium.

Yungblud returned in the early part of 2019 with "Parents," "Loner," and "11 Minutes," the latter of which was a collaboration with Halsey and Travis Barker. Later that year, another track with Barker helped push Yungblud higher up the U.S. Rock chart, this time with rapper Machine Gun Kelly on the raucous "I Think I'm Okay." Primed by these chart placements, he scored his first spot on the Billboard 200 at the end of the year with his third EP, The Underrated Youth, which included his third Top Ten single on the U.S. Rock chart, "Original Me," featuring Imagine Dragons' Dan Reynolds. Rounding out 2019, Yungblud teamed with Marshmello and Blackbear on "Tongue Tied."

At the start of the next decade, he began a fresh blitz with the ecstatic pop of "Weird!" He later issued collaborations with rapper Denzel Curry ("Lemonade") and fellow Englishmen Bring Me the Horizon ("Obey"). Yungblud closed 2020 with the release of his official sophomore effort, Weird! (Neil Z. Yeung, AMG)
