Don’t you just love how Dave doesn’t force anything?

Dave is officially back in album mode. The rapper has announced his new project, THE BOY WHO PLAYED THE HARP, set to arrive on October 24. This marks his first solo album in three years.

The last time we got a full-length Dave record was 2021’s We’re All Alone In This Together, a project that balanced personal reflection with high-profile collaborations. That album featured the likes of Stormzy, WizKid, Snoh Aalegra, and James Blake, and cemented Dave as one of the most versatile voices in UK rap.

Since then, Dave has kept his pen sharp through a joint EP with Central Cee. The duo dominated charts and playlists with “Sprinter,” a song that’s closing in on a billion streams, along with standouts like “Trojan Horse” and “UK Rap.” The project not only highlighted their chemistry but also expanded Dave’s global reach.

Now, anticipation is high for what’s next. THE BOY WHO PLAYED THE HARP promises to be another chapter in Dave’s storytelling-heavy catalog, blending introspection with cultural commentary. With the date locked in, fans are counting down the weeks until October 24.
