Will Young has shared the title track of his upcoming album.
'Crying On The Bathroom Floor' is due to arrive on August 6, while its eponymous single is an emotive, piano-based pop-leaning rework of Muna's 2017 track.
It follows the previously released Elizabeth Taylor and arrives with an Andrew John "W.I.Z." Whiston-directed video that prequels the clip for the singer's cover of Bat For Lashes' Daniel, released back in April. Both videos will be part of a forthcoming short film called Just Like That, with details set to be revealed soon. Young said:
"Crying On The Bathroom Floor was destined not only to be a single but the title of the album. For me, there is humour in the album title as well as sadness. My respect for Muna is super high - they are just the sort of exciting, authentic act that make music worth listening to. It was a privilege to put my own spin on their song as well as a privilege to work with Richard X again on production. I also worked with Wiz on the video, a director who I have returned to time and time again. Both of whom I have a huge creative affinity with. I am looking forward to sharing the rest of the album with everyone. These are all songs written by strong, authentic and challenging, individual women that I find utterly inspiring."
Muna added: "We’re so honoured that Will felt moved by our song Crying On The Bathroom Floor and chose to not only put his own spin on it for his record of covers but also make it the title track."
The 42-year-old will support his new record with a series of unplugged gigs in September. He's also set to appear at the rescheduled Kew The Music in 2022.
