The British artist gave the news with an enigmatic video on Instagram: “I have made an album,” he wrote in the publication. «I remember being at home a few months later, listening to Sufjan’s ‘Fourth of July’ on my computer. And I remember how comforting music can be. The loss he had suffered, combined with this feeling, took me back to a beginning, ”you can read in the video.
In the background, images of the streets of London and Hynes working on music. This also advances that ‘Essex Honey’ will talk about “Pena, England, Youth and Music.” The first single from the album, the exciting ‘The Field’, just tried “the people we miss when we closed our eyes.”
