Loyle Carner announces new UK tour, shares new song "Stars & Shards"
Up-and-coming MC Loyle Carner has unveiled fresh cut "Stars & Shards" and detailed a new UK tour for this autumn.
Carner will play 10 dates, including a stop at London's KOKO on 5 October. Tickets will be on sale this Thursday (28 April).
The track, a jazz-splashed offering with rapidfire rhymes and immense heart, is "about one of Carner’s friends who lost their way".
As well as the new single and tour, the London-based artist has recently teamed up for a charity project with GOMA Collective. He'll be helping set up a cookery school for teenagers with ADHD - find out more.
Carner is one of our five Ones To Watch for 2016.
"Stars & Shards" is out 17 June via AMF Records.
