Sekou details new mixtape, In A World We Don’t Belong Pt. 1
British artist Sekou has shared the announcement of his forthcoming five-track mixtape, In A World We Don’t Belong Pt. 1.
Speaking of the announcement, Sekou says “Part 1 of this mixtape embodies freedom and effortless soul and trying to capture the feeling of something never ending. When I was making this music I really just wanted to be authentically myself - I always felt like an outsider growing up and I wanted to have music that I know other people would be able to put their stories through and, with the title, build a world where people felt understood. ‘In A World We Don’t Belong’ really sums up that feeling for me and each track is its own individual story.”
The arrival of In A World We Don’t Belong Pt. 1 comes at a pivotal point in Sekou’s career. The 21-year-old made the Top Ten shortlist of BBC Radio 1’s Sound of 2024 poll, has completed standout performances on Later… with Jools Holland and 2025’s TIFF Tribute Awards, and also made history as the youngest ever BRIT nominee, with a Rising Star Award nomination.
In A World We Don’t Belong Pt. 1, will be released on 14th November, and is available to pre-save now.
