VI

VI is the sixth studio album by English rock band You Me at Six, released on 5 October 2018 through Underdog Records and AWAL. Within months of releasing their fifth studio album Night People in early 2017, the members expressed a disliking for it and were already working on its follow-up by September 2017. They went on residential studio writing retreats in Reading, Berkshire and Bury St Edmunds, and subsequently met with various producers. Dan Austin was then enlisted, and the band recorded their next album at VADA Studios in Alcester in May 2018. VI is a pop and rock album that incorporates electronic influences, which guitarist Max Helyer attributed to the works of Jess Glynne, Two Door Cinema Club and the Weeknd. VI received generally favourable reviews from music critics, many of whom complimented the change in You Me at Six's sound. The album peaked at number six in the United Kingdom and number eight in Scotland, as well as charting in Australia and the United States. "3AM" and "Fast Forward" were released as a double A-side lead single in June 2018, followed by "I O U" in August 2018.
