Aitch announces debut album Close To Home
Manchester rapper Aitch has announced his debut album Close To Home, which will be followed by new single "1989" tomorrow (20 May).
After previewing "1989" earlier this week, which features a sample of The Stone Roses' "Fools Gold", Aitch has shared news of his debut album Close To Home.
Close To Home will follow Aitch's 2020 project Polaris, and is described in a press release as "A love letter to the city which shaped him."
On Twitter, Aitch wrote of the album, "This one means a lot. The past four years have been crazy thank you to everyone that’s been involved, I can’t appreciate you enough, whether you been here from the start or not I got nothing but love."
A lot of different emotions went into this I can’t wait to share it with u lot!
