If you don’t know the name Tilly Kingston, chances are that you will likely be seeing her name more and more—and we are not mad about it. This Midlands, UK artist is keeping glam punk rock in style with her new single “YOUTH IS WASTED.”
With guitar tones reminiscent of Heart Attack Man‘s “Freak Of Nature,” the track crescendos into a thrilling chorus, highlighting the rising star’s empowering voice. Lyrically, Kingston has the same raw coming-of-age narratives and rebellious feelings of YUNGBLUD himself and Charlotte Sands. “Youth is wasted on the young,” she screams in the song. Check out “YOUTH IS WASTED” below.
In a social media post, Kingston noted that her it’s for all the misfits out there, and that the “single is a rebel anthem, a fusion of raw energy and unapologetic passion!”
