Will Young has unveiled a new track from his upcoming LP, the powerfully pensive ‘Happy Now’. The track is the second to be lifted from his fifth studio album ‘Echoes’, following on from lead single ‘Jealousy’. You can listen to both ‘Happy Now’ and ‘Jealousy’ at the bottom of this article.
Speaking to Digitial Spy about ‘Happy Now’, Young described the track as being about accepting yourself and embracing the different decisions and wisdom which comes with age.
He said: "It's about not hanging on to things that have happened, because I think if you do it shows in your demeanour. It's about releasing that and just feeling quite content being in my 30s and thinking, 'Actually, it's okay, I don't mind the wrinkles; I'll forego the wrinkles for some wisdom!'"
‘Echoes’ will be released on August 22nd, preceded by lead single ‘Jealousy’, which will be released on the 21st.
The tracklisting For ‘Echoes’ is:
1) Jealousy
