What pivotal career moment is Yungblud experiencing?
I remember going up home and going, look at this. It is time. It hit me in the face like a comet, right in my, right in my, in between my eyes. You can sing pop. You can sing a ballad and that crowd will go with you. I want my voice to be the leader. I want my sense of imagination to be limitless. And I want to put rock music at the forefront of my brand and my idea because it's what I've grown up with.
The moment that you're in is so rare. I know you know it's rare, but you don't realize how rare it is. Dom, thank you for being on my show. Let me start here.
Thank you for having me. I'm so excited to be here, man. Long overdue, I think.
But let me start here. Okay. I hate doing interviews over Zoom. So I've only done two. Hold on.
How does Yungblud define authenticity in music?
Hold on. I've only done two. One was Sam Moore of the great Sam and Dave soul group because he was 89 years old, you know, couldn't get on a plane. And you, because I can't pin you down because you're moving like a comet across the sky at the moment.
It's wild, man. Honestly, I really appreciate it because I'm in Detroit at the minute and I was literally just like, ah, I've got to do this. I've got to do this with Billy, man. Please, let's just like try and get into a remote. So I appreciate it. So...
normally i don't know if you've seen my interviews i like to do like a deeper dive like everything from childhood family everything so i feel like this isn't the right way to do it but i want to do is what i would call like a heat check because you're at a very interesting moment of your musical and personal life so it's more like a drop-in like let's just kind of see where you are and the idea here would be if we look at this in 20 years we'll see which one of us was more right about where you end up
I know. It's been so funny with you because I almost see you as like Gandalf for me because you've made comments about where I'm at. And then it kind of like happens. I'm like, hang on a second, like Gandalf or Yoda. You know what I mean? I like Gandalf better. All right, fair deal.
Okay, so we'll just jig and jog around. Nothing too serious today. We'll save that for another time. So you got Idols out. You're out on tour on the Idols World Tour, which, by the way, very unique name. Idols album, Idols World Tour. Yeah.
What insights does Yungblud share about the cultural divide between UK and US audiences?
Wild. Wild. That's one of those ones like nobody sat and thought, like, Idols, Idols World Tour.
Yeah, it's been such a strange... I don't know, it's almost been like a manifestation to what has happened within this album and this tour. I think I made an album really about reclaiming oneself and really doing what I wanted. I think... Funny how that works, right? Like it's working. And it works. Yeah, and it worked. Honestly, I think it's so great. It was so serendipitous that we're doing this because I really remember... Feeling quite a crossroads in my life when I hit 27. And I really, Idols was an album that I've been envisioning since I was 22 years old, you know? And I really remember seeing you say something about me on the Ali Hargendorf podcast. I remember you talking about my voice. And honestly, you were such a massive part of that turning point.
Because I think when you... I think when you look at your idols, like someone like you to me, I think kind of when you know them on a personal level and when they talk about you, you have kind of, before that you have no point of reference all you have is yourself your friends your record company the people around you but when you hear someone you look up to and an idol you look up to go like I think it's time for him to sing and I think it's time for him to do a rock album I think it's time for him to lean into really what he wants to do because I see this thing but it's not quite linked up yet I literally was like oh finally, I feel like I can really lead into what I was trying to do.
I didn't know that. So I'm very touched that.
100%. I remember going up home and going, look at this.
Why did Yungblud choose to re-record his album live at Hansa Studios?
It is time. It hit me in the face like a comet right in my, right in my, in between my eyes, because I think what's been interesting is I've been doing this since I was 18 and you never expect to
