Yungblud went all-in on his fourth studio album, last year’s Idols, which featured such big-swing rocking singles as “Lovesick Lullaby” and “Hello Heaven, Hello” and the churning ballad “Zombie” — recently revamped with a rocking assist from the Smashing Pumpkins.

But on an untitled upcoming album he’s working on with in-demand producer Andrew Watt (Ozzy Osbourne, Rolling Stones), the singer told Rolling Stone he is trading in the max for the min.
