Idols (Complete)
Yungblud
Idols (Complete) is the expanded edition of Yungblud's fourth studio album, released on February 20, 2026 through Locomotion Recordings/Capitol Records. The original Idols — a 12-track first installment — was released in June 2025, debuting at number one on the UK Albums Chart for three consecutive weeks and receiving Grammy nominations for Best Rock Album and Best Rock Song ("Zombie"). Idols (Complete) adds seven additional tracks, including six previously unreleased songs and a reworked version of "Zombie" featuring The Smashing Pumpkins, bringing the total runtime to 19 tracks and just over 74 minutes. The album was four years in the making, recorded primarily in Leeds close to where Yungblud (Dom Harrison) grew up, and was conceived as what he described as "a project with no limitations" — a love letter to self-reclamation, to rock music, and to life "in all its fucking madness." Yungblud had actually begun work on the album immediately after his 2020 record weird! reached number one, but shelved it when outside discouragement and his own self-doubt intervened.
Thematically, the album is an inward-looking exploration of identity, self-worth, and emotional survival — a significant departure in tone from the outward rebelliousness of his earlier work. As

notes, Harrison intended to challenge ideas of identity by strengthening self-worth from the inside before looking outward, and also explores his own masculinity across the record's arc. Musically, Idols draws heavily from Britpop and 2000s British indie — Oasis, The Verve, Primal Scream — as well as glam rock and stadium rock, with contributions from the London Philharmonic on several tracks. The nine-minute opener "Hello Heaven, Hello" moves through serene balladry, fuzz-laden acoustic rock, and orchestral swells as an expansive reintroduction; "Ghosts" is a six-minute stadium-rock anthem; "War" wrestles with the conflicting emotions of fame; and closer "Supermoon" brings the original album to an intimate, strings-driven end. The seven new tracks on the complete edition — including the focus single "Suburban Requiem" and the introspective "Blueberry Hill" — were described by Yungblud as the second chapter of the Idols story, representing "the realization that I'm still alive, that I'm still myself."
