Yungblud has returned with a new single, Hello Heaven, Hello.
Blending elements of pop, punk and rock, the nine-minute, genre-spanning track serves as the first teaser of a new album from the Doncaster artist. On the creative motivation behind the song, he said:
"Rock music is in my DNA. It’s the first genre I was ever exposed to; I grew up in a guitar shop with my Dad and my Grandfather. Rock music helped me find an identity as a human being.
"['Hello Heaven, Hello'] is a journey of self-reclamation—a goodbye to the past and how you may have known or perceived me before, and a 'hello' to the future and where I’m going. It’s an adventure that is sonically more ambitious than ever before—a journey that is meant to be played in its entirety, never holding back or allowing its imagination to be filtered."
His most ambitious release to date, the song first started to come together while the singer-songwriter was touring behind his 2020 album 'Weird'. He explained: "I felt like I was starting to repeat myself - I’d fallen into my own cliche... I'd become comfortable. It was good in a way; it meant that I had my own style. But I’ve always said that if people know where I’m going next, that is my idea of failure."
On the track, he added: "I’ve been discouraged from releasing a nine-minute and six second song as my first move back in a year because, in the modern world, it’s seen as a “risk.” I don’t see it that way at all—I see it as an opportunity. In my opinion, risk is an artist’s greatest tool—putting everything on the line in pursuit of the best evolution and art you can create. Without risk, there is no innovation."
