Yungblud has released his latest single today, a heart wrenching ballad titled ‘Zombie.’ The music video for ‘Zombie,’ directed by Charlie Sarsfield and produced by Untold Studios, stars Academy-award-nominated actress Florence Pugh and comes ahead of the release of Yungblud’s forthcoming album, ‘Idols’ out on June 20th. His most ambitious project yet, ‘Idols’ is the first part of a double album, with the release date of part two yet to be announced.
Speaking about the track, Yungblud explained: “The song was written initially about my grandmother going through serious injury and trauma, leading her to become a different person to who she was before. It’s about the feeling of deterioration and ugliness; shutting out the world and the people we love out of the fear of becoming a burden or an embarrassment.” He added, “We all want someone or something to comfort us no matter how we are right now or who we become in the future. But it’s f*cking scary.”
On August 23rd, Yungblud’s 16-date North American headline tour will start in Los Angeles, CA, with support from Sawyer Hill across all dates.
