It's been a long two years, but it's been worth the wait. UK-based Zimbabwean artist Kwaye is back with Run.

"Run is an experience lived by many of our brothers around the world - it is the dichotomy of walking your truth as a human being, and negotiating your survival as a black man," he says. "The turbulent nature of 2020 has caused many of us to reflect on our own individual worlds - what they need, how they feel, and where they sit within the ever-changing world we all share. In this time I realised how far I’d strayed from the things that make up who I am, and began to address the battles that have long needed resolving. The first is Run: Freedom vs. Duty. From family and community to loyalty and expectations, this song captures the beauty and the complexity of that internal conflict."

Immerse yourself in Kwaye's utterly gorgeous latest. "Lost in My Boots came to me at point where I was losing faith in my relationship, and fearing the worst," he says. "I placed myself in my partner’s shoes. I imagined the hurt, the betrayal, and the heartbreak they would feel if I was to end it all, and the strength and perseverance I believed they would have to get through it all. The song is also a lyrical ode to the African American experience, better days that have been promised and broken throughout history, plus the strength and excellence in spite of these adversities." Get it.

Lost In My Boots is out now.

This is the absolutely stunning video for KWAYE's (equally stunning) Little Ones. The Zimbabwe-born, London-based artist (Noisey calls him "one of the greatest artists you haven’t heard of yet"), he was apparently discovered in the back of an Uber. Noisey talks about Prince, Sade and Blood Orange, but this track reminds me most of the much-missed Ephraim Lewis. Get it.
