Having disappeared from social media for several months, YUNGBLUD has made his grand return to show off his new look and tease his next era.
Dom Harrison has completely wiped his Instagram bar a new photo of himself topless (having clearly put in a lot of work at the gym) where he’s standing with a microphone in front of several Marshall speakers. He simply captioned the post ‘Hello’, with his official website also reading the same thing and with the call for fans to sign up for updates.
Back in September, YUNGBLUD reflected on what a “beautiful” year he’d had, and explained that he was finishing “the next project and what we are building is an adventure”. “I’m allowing myself to go to places I’ve never been to before,” he said, “and dreamin really, really big. It’s igniting my imagination and lighting up my soul. It will soon be yours, but first … bye for a bit, if you see me about say ello.”
Then, a couple of months later, he revealed to NME that he’d made something that looked “like it’s going to be a double-album”, explaining, “The new album centres around the idea of self-love and self-reclamation that allows people to feel seen, and emit this light. You can be seen for who you truly are, no matter where you’re from or what you believe. It’s been at the centre of this culture since the beginning of it. Whoever you are, you’re fucking welcome here, as long as you are fucking loving. That’s what I needed to write an album about.
“A lot of people have had a lot of opinions about me, and I would lie to you when I said I wouldn’t give a fuck. But for the first time in my life, I think I’m starting to actually like myself. I’ve always written from a period of hatred towards myself. I made a fucking rock opera double-album that has no limitations towards imagination.”
