Yungblud has officially completed his Grammy-nominated era with the release of Idols (Complete), an extended edition that deepens the creative scope of his ambitious project. Arriving Feb. 20 via Capitol Records, the expanded set — billed as Idols II — delivers seven additional tracks and reaffirms the Doncaster-born rocker’s flair for theatrical alt-pop and arena-ready emotion.
A New Chapter Featuring The Smashing Pumpkins
Leading the refreshed collection is a reimagined version of “Zombie,” now featuring alternative rock legends The Smashing Pumpkins. The collaboration bridges generations of angst-driven rock, pairing Yungblud’s raw vocal urgency with the unmistakable sonic weight associated with the Pumpkins’ legacy. The track stands as a defining moment on Idols (Complete), underscoring his commitment to honoring influences while pushing his own sound forward.
Seven New Tracks Broaden the Idols Universe
The second disc introduces six previously unheard songs: “I Need You (To Make the World Seem Fine),” “The Postman,” “Time,” “War Part II,” “Blueberry Hill,” and “Suburban Requiem.” Together, the additions expand the emotional and conceptual arc of Idols, a project already praised for its vulnerability and grand-scale production. With layered instrumentation and diaristic lyricism, the new material reinforces Yungblud’s ability to balance punk spirit with pop ambition.
Building on a Grammy-Nominated Momentum
The original Idols era marked a pivotal chapter in Yungblud’s career, earning Grammy recognition and solidifying his standing as one of modern rock’s most outspoken young voices. Known for blurring genre lines and cultivating a fiercely loyal global fanbase, he continues to transform personal confession into communal catharsis. The complete edition not only extends the life of the album cycle but also signals an artist unwilling to leave a creative statement unfinished.
