Dave announces third album ‘The Boy Who Played the Harp’

Dave has announced details of his third album, The Boy Who Played the Harp’, which will arrive later this month.

The Streatham rapper confirmed the release on social media, with the album arriving on Friday October 24. He’s been otherwise scant on details, sharing little else beyond the name, cover art and release date.

It comes after Dave deleted all content on his social media pages earlier this week and encouraged fans to sign up to a brand new page, prompting speculation over the prospect of a new album.

His last album came in 2021’s We’re All Alone in This Together, while his last release came in the 2023 self-produced Central Cee collaboration ‘Sprinter’, which broke the record for the longest running #1 rap record in UK chart history, succeeding his 2022 single ‘Starlight’ which set the record for longest-running number one solo UK track, and the first UK number one by a sole writer and producer in eight years.
