While British electronic pop group Years & Years are busy touring the UK, they've dropped a music video for their latest single, "Shine." The track already caught our ears with the emotionally backed performance from lead singer Olly Alexander, and now, ahead of the track's release on July 5th it has just as powerful visuals attached. Using light to convey the emotion that flows throughout the song, the video almost feels cinematic in its nature and the way it ebbs and flows.
The video's release comes coupled with another big announcement: a US tour celebrating the release of their debut album, Communion. With "Shine" as the lead single, Communion will be released just a few days later on July 10th via the iconic Polydor Records. Check out the video as well as tour dates below.
