Loyle Carner
We're waving, not drowning over the news the British hip-hop artist and rapper Loyle Carner is bringing his introspective rhymes and silkily smooth beats Down Under. Set to perform at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl as part of his Hopefully! tour, Carner will take to the stage on December 6.
After first gaining recognition with his debut album Yesterday's Gone in 2017, the South London MC has cemented himself as a leading voice in the UK rap scene with his confessional, poetic and languorous rapping style. Since then, Carner has performed on stages worldwide and collaborated with everyone from Tom Misch and Madlib to Jordan Rakei.
A mix of hip-hop and rap with influences from jazz, soul and grime, Carner’s albums often tap into family, friendship and grief, seen clearly in hit songs like 'Dear Jean' and 'Loose Ends' with Jorja Smith.
His brand new album hopefully! will drop on June 20, featuring 'All I Need' and 'In My Mind'. This new release is set to be a life-affirming deep dive on fatherhood, childhood and alternative music – with Carner stepping out of his comfort zone to sing, produce and form the band of his dreams.
