Interview: Years & Years on the world of 'Palo Santo', the difficult second album and Dame Judi Dench.

How do you follow up a smash hit album that, in your native country alone, sold over a quarter of a million copies, spent two weeks at Number 1 (and didn’t budge from the Top 40 for over a year), spawned both a Number 1 (which itself sold just shy of a million copies) and a Number 2 single, and earned you four Brit Award nominations? With a bit of time and patience, it seems – or at least that’s how Years & Years have done it.

Why BROCKHAMPTON are the live boyband that 2018 needs.

So high energy was BROCKHAMPTON’s sold-out show last night in London that nearly all the oxygen was sucked out of the room. Literally. The balmy Summer evening in London was nothing compared to sharing the air inside KOKO with 1,400 other very eager attendees, who were determined to give back the same level of energy that the All-American boyband brought to them on-stage.

Pale Waves - 'Eighteen' music video.

Pale Waves have shared a slightly self-referential music video for new single 'Eighteen', which opens with frontwoman Heather Baron-Gracie taking off her wig and make-up from the 'Noises' music video, and may also include a nod to the white dress of 'New Year's Eve'.

Watch the 'Eighteen' music video below (and keep an eye out for cameos from the other members of Pale Waves!)...
