Years & Years have recruited Tove Lo for a remaking of their single ‘Desire’. The track was originally released in November 2014 but thanks to Tove Lo’s vocals has been given a little reworking.

The video for the track’s landed and things get pretty hot and steamy. With the boys using the video to make a statement about the tradition male and female relationships normally portrayed in music videos.

As lead singer Olly explained in a letter posted on Facebook ‘Most of the pop videos I’ve seen that have any male and female interaction are usually centred around a romance, and that’s great, I am all for romance, but let’s face it there are a lot of other sexualities and identities that are well deserving of shiny pop video love.’
