Yungblud – „Hello Heaven, Hello“

Hui, Yungblud haut mit „Hello Heaven, Hello“ einfach mal ein rund neun Minuten langes Opus an Single raus. Dabei erinnert nicht nur die gefühlt drei Songs zusammenpackende Struktur des Tracks an Queen. Mir gefällt vor allem der rockigere mittlere Part. Hier das offizielle Musikvideo – bei all den Ausgaben für die neun Minuten Videoproduktion war kein Geld mehr für ein Oberteil übrig, wie es scheint. Brrr, kalt!

Yungblud selbst sagt über den Song:

“Hello Heaven, Hello is the opening statement to my new album. It’s a journey of self-reclamation, a goodbye to the past and how you may have known or perceived me before and a hello to the future and where I’m going. It sets the precedent for what this album is. It’s an adventure that’s sonically more ambitious than ever before, a journey that is meant to be played in its entirety that doesn’t for a moment hold back or let its imagination be filtered. I wanted its first moment to be a statement. I’ve been discouraged from releasing a nine minute and 13 second song as my first move back in a year because in a modern world it’s seen to be a “risk” – I don’t see it like that at all I see as an opportunity, in my opinion risk is an artists greatest tool – putting everything on the line in pursuit of the best evolution and art you can make – without risk there is no innovation. I feel like for the first time in a long time I’m exactly where I need to be and doing exactly what I’m supposed to be doing – making exactly what I want – exploring the past, the present, the future and most importantly, myself. This album feels magical to me and this is where it starts – where the fuck are we gonna end up? Let’s see. Get on the horse. Let’s ride.”
