TRACK FEATURED IN TARGET’S 2022 HOLIDAY AD CAMPAIGN
THIRD STUDIO ALBUM, ‘NIGHT CALL’ OUT NOW
[INTERSCOPE RECORDS]
LISTEN
‘100% PURE LOVE’
Platinum-selling British pop outfit Years & Years have today released a brand new version of Crystal Waters’ iconic ‘100% Pure Love’, available now on Interscope Records. The track will soundtrack Target’s 2022 holiday ad campaign and continues a whirlwind year for Olly Alexander in the wake of the number-1-UK charting third album, Night Call.
Reimagining the Crystal Waters dance-pop classic in Years & Years’ own, instantly-identifiable style, Olly Alexander comments: “I knew right away that I wanted to work with Georgia and Mark Ralph to bring this cover to life. Crystal’s vocal in the original is so captivating, she has such a special energy and that really inspired me when I came to record my vocals. I’m really hoping people enjoy it, it has such a positive message and liberating feel to it…I love it!”
Earlier this year, Years & Years’ released the critically-acclaimed third studio album, Night Call, an 11-track dance record that bears the bruises of Olly Alexander’s past few years, songs about heartbreak are few; traditional ballads are almost non-existent. Instead, there’s an almost psychosexual energy coursing through it. This is a fairground ride of a record about embracing submission and twisting power play to reclaim your strength. The clues, for Olly, are all there in the album’s iconic artwork, featuring a mermaid of a muse. “I wanted to identify with this beautiful creature luring men to their death; searching for a love, or a lover, that’s out of reach,” Olly says. “A lot of the songs are patchworks inspired by random memories and hook-ups, or men that I’ve met.” The album features pulsating queer anthems “Crave”, “Starstruck,” latest single, “Sweet Talker” (with Galantis) and more future-favorites.
