  • After a breakthrough debut, countless awards, and a step back to reflect on what’s really important to him, Stormzy is back with his third studio album, ‘This Is What I Mean’.
    Stormzy sits down with Zane Lowe in London for a wide-ranging conversation ahead of the release of 'This Is What I Mean.' He reflects on his much-needed time away from the industry, his choice to leave social media, and how his friendship with fellow creatives like Adele has helped him on his journey. The conversation also touches on his lyrics responding to the media's treatment of Meghan Markle, his respect for Jay-Z and others who have paved the way, and how he thinks about adapting his music for the stage.
    Following a reflective break and strengthening of his relationship with God, Stormzy feels like a better creative, rapper, and overall person-all of which is sure to be reflected in his newest body of work.

    Man Zane is one the greatest Interviewers of our time. Got to give the man his flowers. His ability to create comfort with his guests is unmatched. Then the ornate ability to pull gold from them is another thing. Stormzy is a king! What an album, the way he carries himself is a beautiful thing.

    Also I'm excited to learn more about Stormzy! Haven't really connected to his music yet, but this interview made me feel so understood. Can't wait to listen to his album!

    MY GOD I FRIGGIN LOVE THIS!! So humble and just honesty! Truth! This interview is so humbling! Stormzy is soo grounded, I feel this is the best version of him, like hes trying to be the best version of him, do himself proud! Hands down loved this interview was DEEEEEP!
    Personally, this is by far my favourite album like every track you don't think it can get better but boy you do it again.
    With regards to Jamal, may he RIP - Beautiful soul. Loved his energy! He literally was everything anyone said he was - you fly high with those angels, beautiful soul, person.
    Mr Stormzy be proud, feel proud, do you, be you - Stay Humble always & look after Mumzy always ❤💯🙌🙏

    Stormzy, if you ever get to read this…God isn’t finished with you!
    I made a routine of listening to your album most mornings before work. The Holy Spirit track…I hear Jesus in that song every time!
    I’ve never listened to any of your albums back to back, until this one - and I have with this at least 5 times - back to back!
    You may have done this album for you, selfishly…but this is the most generous expression of selfishness I know cz it’s blessed my life! God bless!

    Honestly, we’ve got to know God for ourselves. “God encounters” are good but there is the next and deeper level - God consciousness. 🤍
    Everything changes.
