Years & Years cover Blu Cantrell and Sean Paul’s ‘Breathe’
Don’t forget to ‘Breathe’ - London’s freshest pop trio just took on a classic.

London trio Years & Years are backing up their sweltering, massive-band-incoming single ‘Take Shelter’ with a snazzy, perfectly timed new cover of massive ‘00s hit ‘Breathe’ by Blu Cantrell and Sean Paul.
It sees Olly Alexander and co. taking on one of the previous decade’s most brilliant / universally adored tracks (the peak of Sean Paul’s powers, too) and pulling it off via some fancy handclaps and plucked violin strings.
This follows on from the breakthrough single ‘Real’, and lands ahead of the band’s appearance at Secret Garden Party this weekend.
They’re also off on tour with Sam Smith later this year - dates.
‘Take Shelter’ is out 17th August on Polydor.
