Stormzy has officially dropped off his latest studio effort, This Is What I Mean.
Clocking in at approximately 50 minutes, the 12-track project follows his 2019 record Heavy Is The Head and follows a different sonic path in comparison to his previous releases. Stormzy’s honesty and vulnerability can now be heard in more melodic settings — the result of his three-year hiatus and the creative energy that surrounded him during his music camp in Osea Island, a remote island in the Essex estuary.
The artist also shared a handwritten note on Instagram, diving deeper into his psyche and providing more context to the album; Stormzy explained that This Is What I Mean is simply his way of celebrating music and his devotion to it as a whole, telling listeners that he hopes they can listen to it in their own time with no distractions.
