Singer Yungblud has admitted that filming a documentary that gives viewers a virew into one of his recording sessions was like a “roller coaster of emotions”.<\/p>\n

Yungblud. Are You Ready, Boy? was directed by Bafta-winning filmmaker Paul Dugdale, and sees the musician from Doncaster relocate to Hansa Studios in Berlin to record live performances of tracks from his fourth studio album, Idols.<\/p>\n

He told the PA news agency: “The film is going to be insane. It’s completely out of control, I don\u2019t know how the hell they\u2019re going to edit it but there was a roller coaster of emotions so it was pretty raw.”<\/p>\n

Idols was released in June 2025 and the singer, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, said the album is not just about paying homage to his music heroes.<\/p>\n

“I called the album Idols, because it\u2019s actually the first time that I\u2019ve turned away from them,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve always looked to other people for an answer. I\u2019ve always looked to the picture on the wall.<\/p>\n

“I wrote a record about looking at picture on a wall, wanting to become a picture on the wall, becoming a picture on the wall, and realising it didn\u2019t f****** mean anything.”<\/p>\n

He added: “I think I\u2019ve spent a long time paying homage to my heroes, which I always will do, but it\u2019s time for me to challenge myself, to try and f****** reach as high as I can, try my best and push my musicians, and push my band, and push my team.”<\/p>\n

“I can honestly say, since probably (debut studio album) 21st Century Liability, I wrote this album for myself, and I f****** believe in magic, man, it made me believe in magic again. It\u2019s like, it\u2019s just completely pure, and it\u2019s just been amazing,” he said.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old recorded in the same studio used by David Bowie for Heroes and U2 for Achtung Baby!.<\/p>\n

“Berlin has been through so much, been the most liberal place in Europe, but then also experienced the most pain,” he said about the German city.<\/p>\n

With sequences shot in 16mm, the two-hour long documentary will show the live session being recorded while also giving behind-the-scenes insights that depict the relationship between Yungblud and his band.<\/p>\n
