After releasing his latest album ‘Weird’ and five music videos to go with it, Yungblud teamed up with Vevo to share his breakdown of some of his most popular music videos. The 15-minute video is available of his YouTube channel now.
The singer opens by saying, “I wanna move people and make people feel uneasy, and question their whole existence with my visuals. I just wanna build worlds where people can live if they’re sick of this one.” He then begins the series by telling the story of his song ‘Hope For The Underrated Youth’ from EP ‘The Underrated Youth’. The video was filmed on a boat on the river Thames while he played a gig to thousands of fans.
This is followed by ‘God Save Me But Don’t Drown Me Out’, the first video which Yungblud directed himself, from his album ‘Weird’. He discussed how the idea behind the storyline is to show what anxiety feels like, as he himself and many of his fans have experienced mental health struggles. He said that he feels it’s important to talk about this topic so that other people can receive help and support.
Next, he broke down the title track from ‘Weird’, filmed when the artist was living in LA with his band-mate, as well as ‘Mars’, and ‘Parents’. Speaking of the latter, Yungblud said, “I wanted it to be dangerous as fuck, this video. I remember people being like, ‘It’s a bit close isn’t it?’. I was like, yeah it fuckin’ is, ’cause it has to be.”
This is a new insight into Yungblud’s career and artistry which fans are resonating with, as it takes the viewer through some of his biggest hits. Currently, the video has over 58,000 views after releasing yesterday.
