Young the Giant returns today with the release of their new single “Different Kind Of Love” to herald the arrival of a brand-new era. This track serves as a cornerstone for the band’s 6th studio album ‘Victory Garden’ which arrives on May 1 via Fearless Records. Produced by Brendan O’Brien alongside the band, the song functions as a plea for optimism and empathy within increasingly cynical times. This recording radiates a warmth and sincerity that defines the band at their absolute creative height.
The ensemble wrote and recorded the new material together as a unit in a single room to capture a collaborative spirit. Writing retreats in Idyllwild and Joshua Tree provided the backdrop for these sessions before the band moved to Henson Studios in Hollywood. Lead singer Sameer Gadhia describes the lead single as an invitation to lead with empathy rather than turning away from the world. The music reflects a shift toward radical empathy and heart-felt songwriting instincts developed over their 15-year career.
This forthcoming project marks the first full-length release from the Southern California group since their 2022 album ‘American Bollywood’. The partnership with Fearless Records begins a fresh chapter for the multi-platinum band as they refine their collective voice. Chief Creative Officer Andy Serrao notes his pride in working with the group on such a special and cohesive album experience. The tracks showcase a seasoned artist-inhabitation of a unique sonic space that feels both immediate and refined.
An official music video directed by George Gallardo Kattah accompanies the single release to further illustrate the thematic goals of the project. The visual component mirrors the song’s message of choosing hope as a form of resistance against mind-numbing distractions. The video and the new track are available today across all digital platforms. This release sets the stage for a prolific season of creative fertility as the band prepares for the full-album launch this May.
