Mr Ricky 8,728 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Kind of sad, that there hasn't been made a thread about this amazingly, talented and lovely artist (cutie too). Left: Mikey Goldsworthy - Middle: Olly Alexander - Right: Emre Turkmen Years & Years are a British electronica trio founded in London. The group consists of frontman and keyboardist Olly Alexander, bassist Mikey Goldsworthy and synth player Emre Turkmen. Years & Years' music has been described as electropop, mixing R&B and '90s house elements, with Flying Lotus, Diplo, Radiohead and Jai Paul being their core influences. They have had a number-one hit with "King". Years & Years' debut single "I Wish I Knew" was released in July 2012 on the label Good Bait, with the band performing as a five-piece group. In 2013 the group signed to French label Kitsuné Records as a three-piece and released their second single "Traps" in September 2013. Their third single "Real" was released via Kitsuné in February 2014 and its music video featured an appearance from Alexander’s Peter and Alice costar, Ben Whishaw, and former Misfits actor Nathan Stewart-Jarrett. In 2014 the group signed to Polydor Records and released their fourth single "Take Shelter". The EP reached the number 1 spot on the iTunes UK Singles Electronic Chart. In December 2014, the group's fifth single "Desire" was released, peaking at No. 22 on the UK singles chart. In January 2015, Years & Years' sixth single "King" was previewed on BBC Radio 1, selected as Zane Lowe's Hottest Record of the day. In March 2015, the single reached number one on the UK Singles Chart. In January 2015, Years & Years won the prestigiousBBC Sound of 2015. Years & Years were also nominated for the Critics Choice Award at the Brit Awards 2015. Their single "King", released on 1 March, reached number one on the UK Singles Chart on 8 March 2015. On March 18, 2015 Years & Years announced their debut album Communion. The album is to be released on 10 July 2015 by Polydor. I LITERALLY CAN'T FIND ANY SINGLE FLAWS SO FAR. THIS ALBUM IS GOING TO SLAY. New Music Video Release SHINE : WORSHIP : DESIRE : KING : TAKE SHELTER : Crossfit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Ricky 8,728 Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 And really, none of the songs are boring me. I can repeat as much as I want, and it still sounds so great. Or am I fangirling too much now? Crossfit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
