Weird!
Yungblud
Weird! is the second studio album by English artist Yungblud, released on 4 December 2020 via Locomotion and Interscope after a short COVID‑related delay. Framed by Yungblud as “an episode of Skins in an album,” it expands the high‑energy, genre‑blending style of 21st Century Liability into a more ambitious, pop‑leaning collection that tracks the chaos of late‑teen/early‑twenties life—identity shifts, messy relationships, mental health struggles, and moments of euphoric connection. Supported by six singles (“Weird!,” “Strawberry Lipstick,” “God Save Me, but Don’t Drown Me Out,” “Cotton Candy,” “Mars,” and “Acting Like That,” featuring Machine Gun Kelly and Travis Barker), the album debuted at number 1 on the UK Albums Chart, cementing Yungblud’s mainstream breakthrough.
Musically, Weird! leans into a hybrid of pop‑punk, alt‑rock, Britpop, and hip‑hop‑inflected pop, with brash guitars and big choruses sitting alongside sleeker, more radio‑friendly production. Tracks like “Strawberry Lipstick,” “Superdeadfriends,” and “Acting Like That” channel shout‑along punk energy; “Cotton Candy” and “Charity” push toward flirty, funk‑tinted pop; while “Teresa,” “Love Song,” and “It’s Quiet in Beverly Hills” slow down into more cinematic or vulnerable territory, revealing a softer, melancholic side. The title track “Weird!” functions as the album’s manifesto, celebrating emotional volatility and multiple “personalities” as normal, even liberating, rather than something to be pathologized.
