Back On His Terms

Pop Star Sensation Will Young Is Back. He Talks To Holly Louise Eells About His Exciting New Album, Tour, Well-being And His Love For Devon

- Holly Louise Eells

Award-winning singer and national treasure, Will Young is one of those fortunate performers that never seems to fully leave the spotlight. Having released six best-selling albums since he first exploded onto the pop scene in 2002, he has now found a new beginning of sorts with Lexicon, his seventh studio album.

Whilst working on his fresh music, this newfound sense of liberation has reinvigorated the star’s love for pop music and for being a pop star. And, this time around his personal catharsis has led him back to making music on his own terms.

“I always say that there’s no point in doing something if it’s not joyous,” says Will. “That’s my motto: do it the way you want to do it.”

The much-anticipated album Lexicon has reunited the much-loved star with the team behind Echoes, his successful 2011 album, which includes producers and songwriters Richard X, Egg White, Jim Eliot and Mima Stilwell.
