This week Yungblud is scheduled to drop ‘Hello Heaven, Hello’ a 9:06 single featuring an orchestra.
Taking to his Instagram with a snipped of the song, the artist (born Dominic Harrison) added the caption “Hello Heaven, Hello. The first single off my new album. 9 minutes and 6 seconds. Tuesday 18th of March. 7pm.”
A long time in coming, it was in 2025 that the UK artist first hinted at the track, telling Kerrang:
“The first song is nine minutes long with two guitar solos in it. We’re going big with orchestras. We got to this point and position where we’re like, ‘Right, what do we love? We love rock music. How do we push it forward but also adhere to what we f****** love? Let’s make a record that we love listening to!’,” adding that he wanted to “make a straight down the middle classic rock record that sounds like what the f*** Zeppelin would sound like in 2025. It’s deep and it’s mental – it’s a f****** rock opera”.
Confirming that his next record will be a “rock opera double album that has no limitations towards imagination”, in an interview with NME, Yungblud said:
“It’s about 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 [core] of this culture since the beginning of it. Whoever you are, you’re welcome here, as long as you are 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 f***. 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 f****** rock opera double album that has no limitations towards imagination.”
