Why Years & Years' New 'Desire' Video Embraces More Than Sex: In-Depth

FUSE TV - Why Years & Years' New 'Desire' Video Embraces More Than Sex: In-Depth

Last week, Years & Years re-released its late 2014 single "Desire," remixed with Tove Lo now featured on vocals and a new music video. Upon its initial release, "Desire" was the British pop-house trio's "breakthrough" single, hitting No. 22 on the U.K. charts and charting moderately around Europe, and paved the way for "King" and "Shine" to smash worldwide in nearly every territory except America. This new "Desire" version not only feels like the act's potential key to greater stateside success, but to opening up a larger discussion about sexual fluidity and overall desirability depicted in music videos as well.
