Loyle Carner has finally released a single following the success of his critically acclaimed debut record, Yesterday’s Gone.

Helped by Jordan Rakei, the new song entitled Ottolenghi – after the chef of course – is an understated gem. With a now trademark Carner moody beat, there are of course melting lyrics and flashes of jazz.

Carner runs a cooking school for kids with the same condition as him, ADHD, this is presumably has something to do with the inspiration for the track.

The song arrives hand in hand with a surrealist style video from director Oscar Hudson.

Although musically Carner has been fairly quiet, he has been more than vocal on issues of men’s mental health and sexism within society. His voice for social justice could dictate the tone of his future music. Whatever the future holds, hopefully this song preempts more releases from Carner in the near future.
