Turn it Up!
In addition to announcing his highlyanticipated second album, Heavy Is the Head, British Musician Stormzy recently unveiled his brand new single “Own It”, featuring musical heavyweights, Ed Sheeran and Burna Boy.
Heavy Is the Head marks a hugely exciting return for the multi-awardwinning musical phenomenon. It is an album which has been executively produced entirely by the musician himself, showcasing his world-class lyricism and musicality as well as his celebrated and relatable subject matter.
The album also features additional vocals from some of the most exciting musicians of this generation, including Aitch, Headie One, H.E.R., Tiana Major9 and YEBBA with production from Fred Gibson, Fraser T Smith, and T-Minus.
In April 2019 he made his remarkable return to the spotlight where he unveiled “Vossi Bop”, his first release since 2017. The single saw a combined sales total of 94,495 and subsequently earned Stormzy his first ever UK #1 single, holding the top position for two consecutive weeks.
The album announcement follows on from Stormzy being recently hailed as one of TIME magazine’s 10 Next Generation Leaders, and he was the only leader honoured with a cover for the special issue.
A showman like no other, his remarkable ascent is accompanied by his honest and relatable character. Known for evolving the underground musical landscape, as well as being a perennial political agitator, Stormzy is a true spokesman of black empowerment and social activism. He has become one of UK’s most inspiring cultural figures. In July 2018, Stormzy launched The Stormzy Scholarship – a studentship which funds the student fees of two black students each year, at Cambridge University.
Building momentum with impassioned support from his devoted fan base,
Stormzy is now the proud possessor of over 25 awards, including: two Brit Awards, one Ivor Novello Award, six Mobo Awards, one Q Award, one MTV EMA, one BBC Music Award, one Teen Choice Award, three AIM Awards, two BET Awards, two British GQ Awards, and two Global Awards.
