Years & Years Debut New Song 'Hypnotised' For H&M

Rejoice! Years & Years are back... kinda.

Olly, Mike and Emre have surfaced from the studio to reveal a brand new song 'Hypnotised' as part of H&M's latest campaign launch, ERDEM x H&M.

The epically cinametic track is one of the grandest songs we've heard from the band yet, as Olly sings over gorgeously dramatic production with lush violins and sparkling piano.

"And every call that comes to life / As petals fall before your eyes / You kiss me and I’m hypnotised," he sings with the passion that we fell for on their debut.

'Hypnotised' us a testament to Years & Years' capabailities outside of the electro-pop world, as anyone familiar with their album Communion - so, everybody? - will know how hauntingly beautiful their songs can be.

The group performed the song at the campaign launch party in New York last night so we're hoping they'll release the full-length version to tide us over until the new album is ready.

Work on their highly-anticipated second album officially began back in January and they revealed earlier this month that almost eight (!!) songs are finished and ready to go.

It's been over a years since they released the severely underrated 'Meteorite' for the Bridget Jones' Baby soundtrack so we know that we are ready for some new Y&Y tunes.

Olly has written some of the new material with pop's biggest and best songwriting duo Julia Michaels and Justin Tranter, who have worked with everyone from Bieber ('Sorry'), Selena Gomez and Britney Spears.

He told BEAT magazine that he told the pair that he wanted to "write a Donna Summer song" and "to do Pharrell/Timbaland-era pop."

So, we're talking Nelly Furtado under disco lights? READY. FOR. IT.

Until then, check out 'Hypnotised'...
