Rounding off the success of an impressive string of singles, alt pop connoisseurs Wild Youth reveal their much-anticipated sophomore EP Forever Girl.
Following our conversation with the four-piece about last month’s single ‘Can’t Say No’, the Irish band are determined to not be labelled as your average pop group, showcasing a collective diversity and boldness when it comes to sonic risk taking.
From the sublime flirtatious pop banger ‘Champagne Butterflies’ to the abrasive powerhouse anthem ‘Can’t Say No’, WIld Youth have stuck to their guns on one thing across Forever Girl; their ability to craft credible music and exhilarating choruses calling for ‘out of body’ experiences, whilst simultaneously maintaining their homegrown, humble values.
Previously unheard tracks ‘Weekend Rockstars’ and ‘Wasted Without You’ lead the way in buoyant pop stylings and are arguably the most chart-led singles on the EP.
With this spellbinding and unpredictable catalogue of six tracks, Forever Girl highlights Wild Youth curating a collective of songs with diversity and boldness when it comes to sonic risk taking.
With the support of their loyal and ever-growing fanbase who remain thirsty for their signature catchy choruses, David Whelan, Conor O’Donohoe, Ed Porter and Callum McAdam’s unapologetic creativity has seen them tour alongside household names like Mumford & Sons, The Script and Niall Horan, as well as recently secure a major slot on RTE’s The Late Late Show to perform their hit “Next to You”.
Wild Youth are at the forefront in Irish pop music following a hugely successful year thus far, Wild Youth’s Forever Girl EP is the cherry on top, encapsulating the heartfelt, joyous nature of the band and acts as a significant milestone in the band’s journey towards inevitable global domination – we’re sure more will be up their sleeves for later this year too.
