Trying Times. A live performance film out now.

Tomorrow, I’ll be releasing the final instalment of the live performance visuals.

Trying Times. The live performance film. Tomorrow at 6pm bst | 10am pt.

I’m so incredibly grateful to see this album being consistently listened to by so many of you. I wanna thank all the producers and artists who contributed, my manager Amy Morgan, and John Zamora at Good Boy and the whole team for their insane dedication to Trying Times and to me. I truly am surrounded by the best.

This industry can feel at times like you’re only exciting when you’re new. I hope to any artists out there that struggle with the feeling that ‘time is running out’, 15 years in, my 7th (!) record my favorite I’ve ever made, and being a top 3 (my highest ever) can go some way to dispel that idea. Carry on making things you love and the right people will find you.

You are those right people and I am so thankful to you.

Tickets for the Trying Times European tour are on sale now. Can’t wait to see you all !
