Singer Yungblud recreated a scene from his new video for latest track Lovesick Lullaby, with the help of what could be his youngest fan. The star enlisted the help of four-year-old Hope and her family to reenact the clip in a heartwarming video.
The 27-year-old Doncaster native is set to take over the National Bowl in Milton Keynes in June for the first of four massive summer gigs. But the world-famous artist stunned fans when he showed up at Tottenham Court Rd this afternoon, inviting them to act out one of the scenes from his latest video where he’s sat on a couch.
Hope’s mother, from Portsmouth, explained: “I’m a huge fan of Yungblud’s music. I play it so much around the house that the kids have gotten into it too!” She added: “Hope’s favourite song is ‘Anarchist’!”
Yungblud’s latest release saw him visit various iconic spots in London for the video, including Primrose Hill, Regents Park and Camden’s infamous boozer the Hawley Arms. The track is the first released after the “industry disruptor dropped his first single for a year, Hello Heaven, Hello.
The video for the single was shot in Bulgaria, and featured the star riding a stallion through a winter scene. As fans waited for the video to become available, the YouTube page was flooded with comments of excitement from his adoring fan base.
User Kate Angel wrote: “Woman in Rock Music Here! Excited for your new phase Yungblud! Thank you for inspiring me Dom. Much Love!” referring to the songwriter’s real name, Dominic Richard Harrison.
Another fan added that they couldn’t “believe in 3 hours we’ll be listening to the song!!!!” Many more posted about how they were counting down the minutes in the comment section.
Yungblud’s last music video idea came from a New Year’s Eve party at a friends where he was looking through his host’s record collection at 2am. The singer became transfixed on the iconic Led Zeppelin song, The Song Remains the Same. The video for the 1973 track shows Led Zep’s lead singer Robert Plant riding a horse through a stunning landscape.
The singer evidently took inspiration and included a striking clip of him on snow-laden mountains with a huge black stallion behind him. His red lips, eyeliner and tattoos stood out against the white background.
The Lowlife singer recalled a conversation with his video director where he described his vision for the piece. He said: “I wanna be on a horse in the Bulgarian mountains, then I wanna grow wings and fly off it, then I wanna flashback, rewind time and end up on a hillside with a cross”.
Yungblood was then asked about the practicalities of his idea, with the director asking him: “Do you know how to ride a horse?” The answer was ‘no’, with Yungblud then going on to have a week’s worth of lessons where he was stood in a minus 14 degree blizzard on the mountains of Bulgaria.
He said he was introduced to Harry the Horse, adding that the animal was “beautiful to ride. It was epic.” The star has performed alongside the likes of Avril Lavigne and Halsey, who he dated for a year from the end of 2018.
