George van den Broek’s mercurial talent has long been the talk of contemporary music. An overnight sensation when 2016 debut E.P 'Harmless Melodies' touched a nerve with a global audience of millennials, he signed a worldwide deal with Sony while most teenagers’ biggest challenge would be surviving Freshers’ Week.
Subsequent sonic excursions have seen him explore everything from sprawling pop fusion (Sony debut : ‘A Day In A Yellow Beat’) to sci-fi conceptualism (2024’s ‘HOTEL HEAVEN’) -complete with themed global tour.
His upcoming release as Yellow Days, ‘Rock And A Hard Place’, however, sees George — newly married and drug-free — returning to the influences which inspired him to start making music in his parents’ garden shed in Haslemere, Surrey, as a wide-eyed 16-year-old.
“It’s a return to innocence,” he says with a smile. “As a teenager I didn’t know what I wanted to do, musically. As time goes by, you lose a bit of passion and edge. It’s easy to get carried away. I’ve been like a disobedient dog that needed training (laughs). I see this as the first adult album I’ve ever done.”
