Loyle Carner has today shared two brand new songs, "all i need / in my mind", which are available now via Island EMI. The London trailblazer has also been confirmed to headline Glastonbury's iconic The Other Stage on June 27th: his only show of the summer. "all i need / in my mind" welcomes back a groundbreaking British artist, but also marks a clean break from the past: this is Loyle Carner as you've never seen or heard him before.

A-side "all i need" is an exercise in ambiguity, space, and vulnerability in all its different forms. Oscillating between images of rage and hope, its chorus has the feel of an incantation - "all I need, all I need/This is all I need" - as Loyle marries his hip-hop lineage with a wall of guitars, and breakbeat rhythms that rise and fall ultimately into peace. Having spent the last year or so watching gigs from the likes of Big Thief, Idles and Fontaines DC, "all i need" fuses the poetic rap that made Loyle Carner's name with a love for alternative music which it's taken his entire career to find the confidence to explore.
