Yungblud

Yungblud is the third studio album by English musician Yungblud (Dominic Harrison), released on 2 September 2022 via Locomotion and Geffen Records. At just about 33 minutes across 11 tracks, it is his shortest and most tightly focused album, presented as a self‑titled “new beginning” that aims to crystallize who he is after the explosive, genre‑hopping chaos of 21st Century Liability and Weird!. The record was introduced by the goth‑tinged lead single “The Funeral,” followed by “Memories” (a duet with Willow), “Don’t Feel Like Feeling Sad Today,” and “Tissues,” and it debuted at number 1 on the UK Albums Chart—his second UK chart‑topper—and number 45 on the US Billboard 200.

Musically, Yungblud leans into a polished, guitar‑driven alt‑rock and pop‑punk sound with strong Britpop and emo overtones, streamlining his earlier mash‑up of styles into something more cohesive and arena‑ready. Critics highlight how tracks like “The Funeral,” “Tissues” (built around a sample of The Cure’s “Close to Me”), and “I Don’t Feel Like Feeling Sad Today” operate as hard‑candy rockers designed for sing‑alongs and TikTok moments, while songs such as “Sweet Heroine,” “Sex Not Violence,” and “The Boy in the Black Dress” move into softer, more reflective territory with acoustic textures and slower tempos. The production, handled by collaborators including Chris Greatti alongside Yungblud himself, emphasizes big hooks, punchy drums, and gloss without entirely sanding off his rough‑edged vocal delivery.
