ACL 2018: Yungblud

Sunday at 1pm.  We won't be able to see this UK singer but he's getting lots of buzz so FYI.  It's the moniker of 19 year-old Dominic Harrison.  He moved from Yorkshire to London at 16 to become a rock star and it looks like he's on his way.  NME saw him live last year and the article is titled: "We might have seen the future, and it looks like Yungblud."

His sound is a mix of hip-hop/reggae/ska/pop.  This is more mellow than the other songs I heard.  His songwriting skews to political and social topics instead of banal love songs.  This song is no exception.
