Description
In hugo, theres a central question that Loyle Carner keeps coming back to: Im young, black, successful and have a platform – but where do I go next? The answer is explored in this epic scream of a third album. With urgent delivery and gloriously widescreen production, Carner confronts both the deeply personal (You cant hate the roots of a tree, and not hate the tree. So how can I hate my father without hating me?) and the highly political (I told the black man he didnt understand I reached the white man he wouldnt take my hand). By continuing to write in these tumultuous times with a renewed clarity and sense of artistic freedom, Carner reached deeper beneath the surface than he ever had before. The result is his most cathartic and ambitious record yet, a coruscating journey into the heart of what it means to be alive in these tumultuous times, and one which looks set to neatly cement his position as one of the most potent and vital young talents around today. Working alongside renowned producer kwes. (Solange, Kelela, Nao), Carner leaves no stone unturned on this album, in both its sound and its stories.
