On his fourth album, 2025's
Idols
, British pop iconoclast
Yungblud
delivers an ambitious production that finds him unabashedly drawing inspiration from some of his own British rock heroes. Recognized by his throaty yawp and hyper-stylized aesthetic (a kohl-eyed
Harry Styles
?),
Dominic Richard Harrison
, aka
, has been a chart-topping presence in England since his sophomore album, 2020's
Weird
. He's also been slowly making waves in the States, where his 2022 eponymous album cracked the Top 50 of the Billboard 200. On
, he reunites with producer
Matt Schwartz
(

,
Olly Murs
), who was one of several collaborators on
and who steps up as the main producer here. Together, they make a creative turn away from the singer's previous dancey, pop-punk sound, embracing a heady blend of Brit-pop and classic rock sounds. He conjures the grunge power balladry of
Radiohead
on "Zombie," wanders down
Elton John
's glittery '70s Yellow Brick Road on the piano-driven "Supermoon," and even captures the soaring shoegaze-adjacent majesty of
Ride
on "Monday Murder." There's also the epic album opener, "Hello Heaven, Hello," a kind of two-song prog rock mash-up that starts like a
U2
song from the late '90s before launching into an '80s
AC/DC
cock-rock anthem. It's easy to appreciate the stagey aesthetics of the whole thing, where
(whose voice has never sounded more resonant) frames himself in big string and choral orchestrations and his longtime guitarist
Adam Warrington
leaps out from the wings for a fiery solo just before the curtain falls as he does on the Ziggy Stardust-esque "Change." One of the pinnacle moments of inspiration on
is "Lovesick Lullaby," an infectious novelty infused with a '90s Madchester "lad mag" hedonism in which
half-raps in his cockney accent against a spiraling, psych-rock groove. That the song brings to mind a wild fusion of peak "Cool Britannia"-era
Blur
Happy Mondays
, and
the Stone Roses
feels nakedly intentional. That it's also bursting at the seams with
's own mischievous pop charisma speaks to the way he's often able to bend his influences to his will on
