Communion, the no.1 debut album of British electronica trio, is a gift that keeps on giving with the release of 'Worship,' the eighth and latest music video off the kaleidoscopic LP.
Revealed after a legendary Glastonbury performance, during which frontman Olly Alexander paid a heartfelt homage to the victims of Orlando club shooting, the new video further marks a milestone in the lead singer's queer evolution. A fusion of sort between some of the band's previous emvees, notably 'King' and 'Desire,' the latest visuals for 'Worship' features Olly as a hustler catching a trick for the night and satisfying him.
The video is also interlaced with sexually-charged abstract dance sequences similar to 'King' and consciously addresses a queer subject as confirmed by Olly. “I want to stare down fear and intolerance with the queer eyes in my queer face. I want to try to not be afraid. I know I’ll make mistakes, but I want to keep going,” he explains.
He has also confirmed that this is the final single off the album. TBH we can't wait for Y&Y's next musical project! Don't take years guys!
