Young Fathers have announced their new album to follow Cocoa Sugar (released 2018). Heavy Heavy, their fourth album, is set to come out early next year.
In a statement the band said of the new song: “It’s a big bully with shite down their leg, still swaggering. That pamphlet through your door blaming the establishment and immigrants for everything going wrong. The stench of long-dead empire, trudging along, a psychological hammer to your head in every step. The delusion.”
Pre-order the album due out Feb 3 here: www.young-fathers.com
New single from the French-Caribbean singer, bassist, and producer.

Check out a rare interview with a member of Goat: bit.ly

"To me, this song was just a moment to pause and pay homage to Black women. The album is named that because that's where I get my biggest inspirations My biggest cheerleaders are my sisters, my mother, Black women. And I think bravery is what I’ve needed to become a full-time artist." The debut album from Danielle Ponder!
