Single of the Week: King - Years & Years


Now we're talking, I am truly loving this song right now. It's a former UK number one and it's just so bloody catchy, the awesome, "King" by the very funky Years & Years - a much deserved single of the week.

Years & Years have been on my radar for a little while, Their 2014 singles, "Sunlight" and "Desire" were both great, but it's with "King" that they have found the perfect formula. This is such a catchy song with an amazing electro house beat. It harks back to an early 90's beat, with a luscious synth sound that fills the track beautifully. The chorus is incredibly strong, one of the best this year so far.

One of the best things about this song, and any Years & Years track, is the unique vocal talent of lead man, Olly Alexander. The talented front man has a big future with his strong voice that sounds amazing here. His voice has an incredible range and I look forward to hearing him show it off when their album is released in June.

Then there's the great film clip, this is a fun one. Alexander is a spunk and the dancing is infectious. I couldn't love this song anymore right now. It has been stuck in my head for days, and I love that. They are a pretty fascinating group. With this song, I have gone from casual Years & Years fan, to "fan girl" status!! Check out the song and clip!!
