Loyle Carner stars/directs in ‘lyin’ short film with new album ‘hopefully!’ out June 20th

Having fully sold out a four night residency at O2 Academy Brixton, Loyle Carner has unveiled a brand new music video for ‘lyin’.

Starring and directed by Carner himself, ‘lyin’ is an affecting musical and visual centrepiece of Loyle’s hugely anticipated new album ‘hopefully!’ which is set to release on June 20th.

Poignant and surreal, the ‘lyin’ video blurs the line between dreams and reality, your inner child and the grown-up self still figuring things out. The track’s tender twist of lullaby acoustics and hushed rap is visually transported through ambitious scenes shot on location in Latvia, spanning bedtime, play and performance. Produced by Spindle, it’s Loyle Carner’s second self-directed video to follow the one-shot, coming-of-age piece ‘Yesterday’, and teases the visual world of hopefully ! still to come…
