Years & Years named as BBC's Sound Of 2015

London-based trio Years & Years have topped this year's BBC Sound Of 2015 poll, beating off other high profile competition such as James Bay, Stormzy and George The Poet.

The three-piece now join an illustrious alumni of previous winners that have included Sam Smith, Haim, Jessie J, and Ellie Goulding, who have all undoubtedly gone on to have huge careers in music.

The band recently unveiled their latest single 'King' ahead of the announcement and given the BBC's reputation of forcing the Sound Of winners down our throats, you'll probably be hearing a lot more of this song in the coming weeks.

You can get familiar with 'King' in the player below before it becomes available to download from the 1st March.
