Loyle Carner has released a new single.
Nobody Knows (Ladas Road) is the latest preview of his new album, 'Hugo', due out on October 21. It follows previous singles Hate and Georgetown.
The song finds Carner delivering impassioned and shrewd lyrics about race as it relates to himself and society atop a backdrop of bass-heavy beats and gospel-esque choral backing vocals. It arrives with a video directed by Uncanny, who said:
“We aimed to push even more focus and attention towards the powerful words by stripping back any distractions, not even allowing for cuts. Through this, we were able to give the focus to Loyle and allow space for his performance solely to captivate the viewers attention.
"These themes felt perfectly encapsulated by shooting with one of only 3 infrared cameras in the world. The way that infrared renders skin through the 65 is just incredible, we kept referring to it as this glassy, almost porcelain look. The way that the landscape is also rendered is surreal, making everything look almost alien, heightening the sense of not quite belonging. The sheer size of the 65 sensor also really helped us to create something that looked unique and really special, with the incredibly shallow depth rendering Loyle and the set as an almost dream world, somewhat akin to a dolls house.”
The South London artist will support the follow-up to 2019's 'Not Waving, But Drowning' with a UK and Ireland tour throughout February and March. Tickets are on sale now.
