Yungblud has returned to music with his epic “self-reclaiming” new single ‘Hello Heaven, Hello’. Check it out below.The track, which clocks in at nine minutes and six seconds, features three tempo changes, building to an anthemic chorus in the middle of the song, with the singer – real name Dominic Harrison – belting out, “One step into Heaven / But first, you’ll go to hell and back”, over loud guitars and thrashing drums.‘Hello Heaven, Hello’ then slows down into a more acoustic leaning jam with Harrison singing vulnerably: “There’s a chance I won’t see you tomorrow / So I will spend today saying hello”.Speaking about the song in a press release, the Doncaster musician said: “Rock music is in my DNA.

It’s the first genre I was ever exposed to; I grew up in a guitar shop with my Dad and my Grandfather. Rock music helped me find an identity as a human being”.He continued: “‘Hello Heaven, Hello’ is 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’s an adventure that is sonically more ambitious than ever before—a journey that is meant to be played in its entirety, never holding back or allowing its imagination to be filtered.”Directed by Charlie Sarsfield (Billie Eilish, Stormzy, Jesy Nelson), the video begins with a shirtless Yungblud singing the track in a snowy field filled with black roses and a black horse.

He begins riding the horse, with the track’s tempo building before he unleashes a pair of black wings and takes flight.A post shared by YUNGBLUD (@yungblud)A new scene zooms in to a black-and-white television which sees Yungblud and his his band in an all-white studio performing the anthemic track before black.
