A GREAT BIG WORLD MEETS SUPER MARIO

Epic duo A Great Big World is back with a brand-new single and lyric video—though that description doesn’t do the wildly clever clip justice. Don’t miss the vintage-videogame premise and the wildly clever way it’s executed. And check out that massive chorus hook, with its bittersweet thematic payload.

“Younger” is the lead single from the Grammy-winning duo’s third album (out later this year), which is self-titled. On the LP, New York-based Chad King and Ian Axel worked exclusively with a live band, in order to capture the energy of AGBW onstage.

“We made this record with our friends and our band, who have been playing with us for years,” Axel explains. “We just made the stuff that moved us without trying to be anything but us.”

Adds King, “We kind of feel like this is an arrival moment for us.”
