LOYLE CARNER has announced his brand new album hopefully !, which is set for release on Island EMI on June 20. Loyle has additionally detailed plans for an extensive global tour to follow his Glastonbury headline set (The Other Stage, June 27). Loyle will return to New Zealand after his sold out tour in 2023, with a stop in Auckland this November.
hopefully ! was introduced recently alongside two surprise new songs, ‘all i need / in my mind’, marking the groundbreaking British artist as you’ve never seen or heard him before. A life-affirming exploration of fatherhood, childhood and alternative music, the album is buoyed by a positivity and lightness of touch achieved in large part by stepping out of your comfort zone. In a series of firsts - singing, producing, accidentally forming the band of his dreams - Loyle Carner cultivates healthier boundaries, whilst also allowing his audience in (the album’s moving artwork features his muse of a son, who can also be heard throughout the record).
