Loyle Carner enters a bold new chapter with double drop 'all i need / in my mind'

Loyle Carner returns with a powerful double release, ‘all i need / in my mind’, marking a bold sonic shift for one of the UK’s most distinctive voices. Fusing his signature poetic rap with influences from the alternative music world, these tracks showcase an artist evolving - both personally and creatively.

Drawing inspiration from watching live shows by the likes of Big Thief, Idles, and Fontaines D.C, Carner channels a raw, guitar-laced energy into this latest release, stepping confidently beyond the sound he’s best known for. The result? A new edge, without losing the emotional depth that’s defined his catalogue.

This drop comes ahead of a landmark moment in Carner’s career - a headline slot on Glastonbury’s iconic Other Stage, his only live performance this summer. It also sets the stage for more firsts in 2025, including his acting debut in the BBC drama 'Mint', directed by BAFTA-nominated Charlotte Regan.

With a legacy already grounded in advocacy, authenticity, and artistic risk-taking, ‘all i need / in my mind’ isn’t just a musical return - it’s a statement of intent from an artist still pushing boundaries, and still very much in his prime.
