Multi-award-winning British pop star and actor Will Young is back with new studio album, Light It Up, which is out on 9 August. To celebrate the new album, Will is embarking on his most intimate tour yet taking shape as an up close and personal evening of acoustic performances, stories and conversation. The 50-date UK tour will kick off in September through to November. About the tour, Young says: Im very excited to be going to a lot of places I havent been. I wanted to go to smaller venues so I could properly get around the country rather than just playing the big cities. Channeling the nostalgia of 80s pop with a modern, soulful touch, the single Falling Deep sits somewhere between The Police and The Weeknd. The song is written and produced by renowned pop hitmakers PhD (who have worked with Kylie), with GRAMMY-winning songwriter David Brook (OneRepublic & Galantis) and Fraser Churchill (Charlie Puth). Falling Deep speaks to the sweet surrender of giving into a new experience, however dangerous or out of control it makes you feel. It is the perfect introduction to Wills first album of originals in five years. Will said: Im remembering my roots of pop and completely welcoming it. The song immediately made my mind go to the late 70s and early 80s. I wanted the fun and nostalgia of that time but to modernise it, and Im so proud of the result. Falling Deep is brought to life by a vibrant music video with nods to the classic, musicals-like chorus line. Directed by Samuel Douek (who has worked with Anne-Marie, Tom Walker and Mabel), it features an ensemble of dancers, all around Wills age. He said: I wanted to work with dancers my age as I think sometimes there can be such a focus on youth in the dance world for all performers, and older performers come with such grace and wisdom. It was a fantastic day working with people my age. We all knew what a Nintendo Gameboy was and I think especially women can be overlooked as they age, so it felt very important to work with men and women for the project. The forthcoming album Light It Up out on 9 August is Will Youngs return to joyous pop. The 10-track collection sees the acclaimed singer-songwriter team up with new collaborators, PhD, the Scandinavian pop production/writing duo who has worked with Little Mix. He also reunites with Andy Cato of Groove Armada and long-term writing partners Jim and Mima Elliot (who worked on Wills defining album, Echoes). He said: I think for me it was about finally feeling more content and being able to go back to embracing joyous unashamed pop music. I really hope this is the go-to pop album for a dance, for a cry and for a celebration. I know I do all three with it.
