The new music is definitely a different sound, so I’m looking forward to seeing if people love it or not,” he told the outlet.“But in all honesty, I’m nearly 30 now and it’s taken me up until now.

I’m finally the artist that I wanted to be and I’m making the music that I really loved and I’ve taken inspiration from old records, new records and really dived into different sounds and different instruments,” he added. “I’ve loved every second of it.

Hopefully it goes well.”The new record marks his fourth album, following on from 2023’s ‘What Ifs And Maybes’, and is set for release on August 15.
