Years & Years, fresh from ensnaring the nation's attention with hit single "King" have returned for "Shine".
It's not quite the same instant-gratification tune, rather a slower part of the trio's canon. It shows Olly Alexander's ability to carve heartbreak from the electro-pop backing, and although it detonates in the chorus, the track's real strength is its ability to yank at your heartstrings.
Communion is out 10 July on Polydor.
