YUNGBLUD releases highly anticipated album, ‘Weird!’
YUNGBUD announced the release of his highly-anticipated album, Weird! which is currently available to stream/download via Locomotion/Interscope.

YUNGBLUD – Weird!

YUNGBLUD’s Weird! marks the artist’s third and most complex body of work, the album embodies a wide array of sounds with Queen-inspired harmonies, Beatles-esque chord progressions, elements of dance-punk, glam-rock, hip-hop, and metal. The album was recorded at studios in London and Los Angeles with Cervini, Greatti, and another frequent collaborator, Matt Schwartz (Cold War Kids, Bullet For My Valentine, Massive Attack). Featuring the artist’s previous hit singles, “mars” and “cotton candy,” this is Weird! is one album fans are not going to want to miss. Weird! follows the artist’s highly successful LP 21st Century Liability in 2018 and the 2019 EP, the underrated youth, which were immediately embraced by fans and the world.

The 23-year-old artist says in a press-release,

“It’s a story of coming-of-age and self-acceptance and liberation, in terms of sex and gender and drugs and heartbreak and all the other twists and turns we go through in life.” Likening Weird! to a “Skins” episode in album form, he adds, “I hope it makes people feel like it’s okay to feel out of place or twisted or weird, because life is weird—but that’s what beautiful about it. So don’t ever try to live it as someone else. Live it as you.”

YUNGBLUD – mars

Showcasing a rare harmony that exudes confidence and sensitivity to his songwriting, “mars” provides hints of what’s to come with his upcoming album release. With its tender storytelling and soothing vocal work, the acoustic-guitar-laced track shares the narrative of a young trans woman the artist met while playing Warped Tour.

“She told me how her parents had come to the show with her, and how seeing our community helped them to understand that her coming out as trans wasn’t just a phase—this is who she really was. It made me cry to think that we could have that kind of impact and change people’s perceptions, just by being ourselves.”
