Years & Years: Synthpop Candy
6:23 AMHere's how I realised the extent of my anglophilia.
When I first heard the Years & Years song "Shine," I just thought here's another catchy, synthy RnB song. Even though I liked the song, I didn't give it much thought.
But at some point, I googled them.
They are BRITS. I was hooked.
Even better, I remember seeing frontman Olly Alexander in the film Great Expectations and some episodes of Penny Dreadful. I'm crushing on him hard -- I don't care if he's gay!
Olly's voice sounds a little like Justin Timberlake's, but with less of the pretentious lilts and with a lot more soul.
This band's my latest electronica obssession.
