Slowthai: I just wanna sing my heart out

“Everyone should sing, even if you can’t sing. I think everyone can, they just think about it too much and they just haven’t found where they can sing. I’m just pouring out what I’m feeling. I just wanna sing my heart out” - UK rapper Slowthai says in the Independent interview about his new album 'Ugly' ("U Gotta Love Yourself"). Slowthai turns to singing, with the production also leaning to the indie-rock side (producer Dan Carey previously worked with black midi, Squid, Chubby and the Gang, and Fontaines DC). The recent £1 pub gigs tour was also a novelty - “any way I can give the opportunity to people who come from a similar place as myself and are struggling, why would I not? For me it’s about playing music and sharing them moments with people".
