“Florence Pugh, in my opinion, is one of the most exciting British artists in a long time,” he told Rolling Stone. “I think she has this individuality that is not adherent to anyone else. She is completely legit and individual within her own style in her own time.”
“The song is so deep, so emotional, but so fundamentally British,” Yungblud added. “I was like mind blown watching her on set. And she’s just a legend. You can tell, man. She’s just sat in a pub on a Sunday with a pint of Guinness, just talking sh-t.”
In a post shared to Instagram, Florence wrote, “Making special things with special people. I believe in everything @yungblud stands for and am absolutely inspired by how he uses his art and his voice. Being a part of his music video for ‘Zombie’ feels surreal to me. Dom and I have been trying to find something to work together on for a while and so when he voicenotes me (in a suuuper casual way) about whether I’d be down we muscled our teams together to find a way to squeeze this in to both our insanely busy schedules, there was no way I was missing out on this.”
She continued, “I haven’t known him for long but I’m just so proud of this beautiful British talent. Thank you for having me on your journey and thank you for making this love letter to nurses all around. What a privilege it is to make epic things, with epic people for great reasons.”
Last year, Florence starred in the music video for rising artist Rachel Chinouriri‘s “Never Need Me.”
