Years & Years stopped by BBC Radio 1's "Live Lounge" earlier this week to promote their debut album "Communion". During their visit, the rising British group complied with the show's rule that guests must cover a song by another artist, and did an awesome rendition of The Weeknd's "Earned It".
Joined by his bandmates and a couple of backing vocalists, the trio's newly-blonde frontman Olly Alexander sat on a keyboard while singing and flawlessly hitting the high notes. In addition to the hit, which appears on the "Fifty Shades of Grey" soundtrack, the band performed their own song "Shine" on the show.
Years & Years' "Communion" was released on July 10 via Polydor Records. The record has also been preceded by the singles "Real", "Take Shelter", "Desire" and "King". The latter song went on to become their biggest hit so far. It peaked at No. 1 on the U.K. singles chart.
