Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Years & Years Premieres New Song “Valentino” featuring MNEK
London-based synth-pop trio Years & Years has shared a new song “Valentino” with an accompanying music video.
The song features British singer-songwriter MNEK and is included on their sophomore album “Palo Santo” deluxe version, which was released last July.
It was written by Olly Alexander and MNEK.
“Uzo and I were inspired to write a song about the many fuck boys who have done us dirty. I’m lucky to have a friend like Uzo – somebody I talk to when I’m upset about a boy and working together was basically an extension of us hanging out,” the band frontman Olly Alexander said. “I hope the lyrics connect with people regardless of their sexuality – we all know a Valentino! – but I am so proud of this song for how unashamedly gay it is. Two men singing about a boy is still disappointingly uncommon so it makes me very happy to be putting this song out with MNEK.”- source : Idolator
