Yungblud – Idols
Track List Hello Heaven, Hello Idols Pt 1 Lovesick Lullaby Zombie The Greatest Parade Change Monday Murder Ghosts Fire War Idols Pt II Supermoon Yungblud is an enigmatic figure ruthlessly tearing apart the rules and placing his marker on the pulse of rock. The musician has had a meteoric rise into superstardom, and like a shooting star he has ascended so quickly, pushing his sobering music into the ears of his infatuated fan-base. The man is on fire, and he has been putting out so many good, honest songs lately. His album, Idols, carries on the themes and subjects close to his heart. These themes are dark, and death rattles on, becoming this ingrained sound. This may put people off, but for some it will be extremely exhilarating. The man behind the microphone shows his vulnerability on this LP, showcasing tracks of sorrow and despair, songs which describe alienation. Broken down at times, too, Yungblud feels the pressures of life, and the true pitfalls. Truth and desire go hand in hand on this LP, with many moments causing a stir, but that is what we expect from this tearaway, this force to reckoned with. 'Hello Heaven, Hello' is a masterful start. Yungblud sings for redemption from the skies, and the arresting guitar rush pushes the song into a sonic place. The chorus confirms that this is a worthy piece of music, and it goes on for over 7 minutes, showing a dark embrace. 'Zombie' begins acoustically and then drops into a sonic adventure. Yungblud's melodic voice changes the concept, and he can sing well. It's a sombre track this and is reminiscent of a My Chemical Romance's brooding value. 'War' directs us to a love story that is tinged in blood and disorder. Yungblud shows his range, too, breaking into the chorus with seamless rhythm. It's a hard-fought battle, love, and he's not letting anything go. Idols will break hearts, and it will be misjudged, but the evidence is clear that it rocks.

Yungblud documentary was a 'roller coaster of emotions'
Singer Yungblud has admitted that filming a documentary that gives viewers a virew into one of his recording sessions was like a "roller coaster of emotions". Yungblud. Are You Ready, Boy? was directed by Bafta-winning filmmaker Paul Dugdale, and sees the musician from Doncaster relocate to Hansa Studios in Berlin to record live performances of tracks from his fourth studio album, Idols. He told the PA news agency: "The film is going to be insane. It's completely out of control, I don't know how the hell they're going to edit it but there was a roller coaster of emotions so it was pretty raw." Idols was released in June 2025 and the singer, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, said the album is not just about paying homage to his music heroes. "I called the album Idols, because it's actually the first time that I've turned away from them," he said. "I've always looked to other people for an answer. I've always looked to the picture on the wall. "I wrote a record about looking at picture on a wall, wanting to become a picture on the wall, becoming a picture on the wall, and realising it didn't f****** mean anything." He added: "I think I've spent a long time paying homage to my heroes, which I always will do, but it's time for me to challenge myself, to try and f****** reach as high as I can, try my best and push my musicians, and push my band, and push my team." "I can honestly say, since probably (debut studio album) 21st Century Liability, I wrote this album for myself, and I f****** believe in magic, man, it made me believe in magic again. It's like, it's just completely pure, and it's just been amazing," he said. The 27-year-old recorded in the same studio used by David Bowie for Heroes and U2 for Achtung Baby!. "Berlin has been through so much, been the most liberal place in Europe, but then also experienced the most pain," he said about the German city. With sequences shot in 16mm, the two-hour long documentary will show the live session being recorded while also giving behind-the-scenes insights that depict the relationship between Yungblud and his band.
