According to Stormzy, he has written a song that deserves to be this year's Christmas Number One. The rapper, whose third studio album, ‘This Is What I Mean,’ is scheduled to be released soon by 0207 Def Jam, claimed in a recent interview that one of the album's songs would be good enough to top the UK holiday charts.
Stormzy responded to Magic Radio's query about whether his upcoming album would contain a Christmas tune that could top the charts: “Well, lo and behold I’ve got something really special for you guys and do you know why I’m so proud? Because I made this song with love… I just made this song, and it came from the purest place, I wrote it with an amazing artist. A really extremely gifted artist called Debbie and we made this beautiful, beautiful song, and I genuinely think that…I don’t want to jinx it, but I swear to you, I can’t wait for you guys to hear it.”
The rapper's most recent track, ‘Hide & Seek,’ served as a preview of his next album. Additionally, he recently discussed the collaborative recording process for the album on Osea Island in the Blackwater Estuary close to Maldon, Essex.
“That was the most beautiful, spiritual coming-togethers I’ve even been involved in,” he explained. “It was one of those things… you kind of had to be there. Even if I describe it, I won’t really do it justice.”
Stormzy continued: “It was my favourite musicians, my favourite producers, my favourite artists just in this big house, with different rooms where you might have Kassa on the top floor making music and then you got Jacob Collier in the room over there.
“It was very surreal but then when you marry that with the fact that it wasn’t just musicians, we became family on that trip, like that’s my brothers and my sisters.”
The follow-up to 2019's 'Heavy Is The Head,' 'This Is What I Mean,' is dubbed "an intimate love letter to music."
