Grammy-winning duo A Great Big World has decided that their third album, which comes out later this year, should be self-titled, and for good reason: because it is who they truly are. For the first time, the NYC pairing of Chad King and Ian Axel recorded a whole album with a live band, in order to capture the rush and energy of their bombastic stage performance. The first single off the album, "Younger," encapsulates this fully, unfolding like a colorful love letter to an adolescence of playing wiffle ball and Super Mario Bros, listening to Maroon 5 and dreaming about the future. A Great Big World took the BUILD stage to talk about the single and upcoming album as well as perform a few songs.
