Stormzy Teases His Forthcoming Album With The Delicate Lead Track ‘Hide & Seek’

Check out Stormzy's latest song, ‘Hide & Seek,’ the first taste of his upcoming third album, ‘This Is What I Mean,’ down below.

The 2019 album ‘Heavy Is The Head’ will be followed by ‘This Is What I Mean,’ which will be released on 25^th November. Stormzy made a comeback last month with the non-album song, 'Mel Made Me Do It.'

The rapper's third album, which was produced at a ‘Stormzy music camp’ on Osea Island in the Essex estuary, is referred to as "an intimate love letter to music."

In a statement regarding the making of the new album, Stormzy stated: “When you hear about music camps they always sound intense and sombre. People saying: ‘We need to make an album.’ ‘We need to make some hit records.’

“But this felt beautifully free. We’re all musicians but we weren’t always doing music. Some days we played football or walked around taking pictures. And the bi-product to that was very beautiful music.”

“Because when you marry that ethos with world-class musicians and the best producers, writers and artists in the world, and we’re in one space, that’s a recipe for something that no one can really imagine. You can’t even calculate what that’s going to come up with. And it came up with a big chunk of this album.”

'Mel Made Me Do It', Stormzy's first solo release in over three years, was released last month. The song was released together with a 11-minute music video directed by KLVDR that included numerous plot lines and featured over 35 cameos.

Jose Mourinho, Dave, Headie One, Little Simz, Louie Theroux, Malorie Blackman, and Usain Bolt are just a few of them. The song also includes a monologue by Wretch 32. (narrated by actress and the creator of 'I May Destroy You', Michaela Coel).
