Olly Alexander, Mikey Goldsworthy and Emre Türkmen, better known as Years & Years, performed at Hits Radio Live on the 14th July and we caught up with the band to talk about their brand new album 'Palo Santo'.

Speaking to Hits Radio Evening Show presenter Sarah-Jane Crawford, Years & Years called it their "sophomore album", going on to explain how the Spanish named album should be pronounced. Telling Sarah-Jane it is also the name of their "made up, fictional universe".

They also revealed how they managed to get Dame Judi Dench to narrate the trailer for their new album, with Olly explaining how they had a contact because he was in a play with her many years ago. When asked about the filming of the trailer, they revealed they recorded it at Dame Judi's house and they "ate crisps and drank Champagne".
