Young Fathers – Alloysious Massaquoi, Kayus Bankole and G. Hastings – announce details of their brand new album Heavy Heavy (Ninja Tune). Set for release on February 3rd 2023, it’s the group’s fourth album and their first since 2018’s album ‘Cocoa Sugar’. The 10-track project signals a renewed back-to-basics approach, just the three of them in their basement studio, some equipment and microphones: everything always plugged in, everything always in reach.

To mark the news of the album and the tour, Young Fathers today release a brand new single, “I Saw”. It’s the second track to be released from the album (following standalone single “Geronimo” in July) and brims with everything fans have come to love from a group known for their multi-genre versatility – kinetic rhythms, controlled chaos, and unbridled soul.

Accompanied by a video created by 23 year old Austrian-Nigerian artist and filmmaker DavidUzochukwu, the track demonstrates the ambitious ideas that lay at the heart of this highly-anticipated record. 

On the subject of the track, the band has said “It’s a big bully with shite down their leg, still swaggering. That pamphlet through your door blaming the establishment and immigrants for everything going wrong. The stench of a long-dead empire, trudging along, a psychological hammer to your head in every step. The delusion.”
