Following the release of his recent single Lowlife, YUNGBLUD has shared an accompanying video featuring him and his ‘younger self’ living it up in Camden.
“I wanted to make something that looked like emo Shameless or St. Trinian’s on acid,” he explains. “As I was writing the song, I was visualising the video in my head, it literally helped me get the words down on paper.
“I knew it had to be shot in Camden Town and I wanted to be walking side by side with my younger self, guiding him through a fucked-up world based on real memories and people I have encountered in my life. Almost a message to myself saying that life doesn’t always have to be so deep and there is beauty to be found in chaos and opportunity in disaster.”
He adds that finding a younger YUNGBLUD in actor Colt was pretty easy, having met him in New Orleans and “immediately” knowing he wanted him for the job.
“He was such a little brat with a load of bite and energy and felt exactly like me when I was his age so we flew him out to London for the shoot,” he continues. “This video is completely bonkers, but that’s what makes it perfect.”
