Years & Years Achieve Futuristic Glamour In Sparkly 'If You're Over Me' Video

Nearly three years right after their debut album Communion dropped in 2015, Years & Years roared back in March with the bold, declarative "Sanctify." It arrived with a dystopian, very Blade Runner-inspired music video that noticed singer Olly Alexander assuming the role of a young android on the hunt for humans.


Right now, part two of that story — called Palo Santo, the name of the group's forthcoming second LP — is here. It's called "If You're Over Me," and its video once again finds Alexander wriggling, contorting, and bending himself for a crowd. This clip, though, is more about the dynamics of what occurs between those performances.


The set dressing and costuming here's phenomenal and accommodates assists to sell the video's narrative of confusion and agitation as it relates to intimacy and romance. And obviously, the song itself tackles that feeling of not wanting someone to stick around in the event you could feel them slipping away.


The marriage of those two concepts is all seen through Alexander, who anchors the clip with countless stunning dance routines plus a penchant for captivating with his wounded expressions. Check out all of the glitzy drama in the clip above.


Palo Santo is due for release on July 6. Up until then, maybe we can begin brainstorming about what will happen in part three of the Palo Santo saga.
