Stormzy has unveiled his intimate new single "Hide & Seek" as the lead outing from his forthcoming third album This Is What I Mean.

Earlier this week Stormzy surprised fans with news of his Heavy Is The Head follow-up This Is What I Mean, as well as his return to social media, and today (14 October) he's delivered the first single from the new record, an intimate track titled "Hide & Seek".

The new song follows his epic seven-minute September standalone single "Mel Made Me Do It", and features backing vocals from Äyanna, Teni and Oxlade.

A press release revealed that much of the creative for Stormzy's new album was formed at a Stormzy music camp in Osea Island in the Essex estuary. Although the tracklist has been revealed, the full list of collaborators is yet to be shared.

"Hide & Seek" is out now. Stormzy's This Is What I Mean album will arrive on 25 November via 0207 Def Jam, and is available to pre-order now.
