The Lawrence brothers’ influence on the future sounds of UK electro-pop continues, as another talented young production team makes their mark.
Co-produced by the Disclosure-affiliated Lxury, aka Andy Smith – worthy of that young talent tagline himself – this second single from London trio Years & Years proves them as newcomers worth keeping an eye on.
With its chorus that nods to the late-night passion of “Latch”, muddled alongside an R&B hue recalling the likes of SOHN, it’s a track as radio-ready as it is perfectly prepped for 2014′s dancefloors.
Stream this new infectious new cut below – it could just be the “Real” deal.
