Stormzy: This Is What I Mean [0207 Def Jam/Interscope]

Grime superstar Stormzy is back with his third album. Continuing the evolution from his acerbic early bars to a more international and mellow sound, the London MC teed up the album with “Mel Made Me Do It” and a video featuring Usain Bolt, José Mourinho, and more. He wrote most of the album during a retreat to Osea Island, a small island in the Blackwater Estuary. “When you hear about music camps, they always sound intense and somber,” he said in press materials. “But this felt beautifully free.” Guests include Sampha, Nao, and Amaarae.
