Dave Announces New Album ‘The Boy Who Played the Harp’

Dave has officially announced his hugely anticipated third album, The Boy Who Played the Harp, set for release on October 24th via Capitol Records. Pre-orders are available now.

One of the most vital voices in contemporary music, Dave has earned a reputation as a master storyteller and one of UK rap’s defining figures. The new project marks the beginning of his next chapter, following the chart-topping success of Psychodrama and We’re All Alone in This Together.

The Boy Who Played the Harp is Dave’s first body of work since 2023’s record-shattering collaboration with Central Cee, Sprinter, which became the longest-running No.1 rap single in UK chart history. It followed 2022’s Starlight, itself the longest-running solo UK No.1 in eight years — a feat that underscored his ability to dominate both critically and commercially.

With We’re All Alone in This Together, Dave not only secured his second Platinum-certified album but also achieved the biggest first-week sales for any album in the UK in two years at the time. The record cemented his status as one of the most influential artists of his generation.

Now, with The Boy Who Played the Harp, Dave promises to raise the bar once again — blending sharp lyricism, emotional depth, and unmatched cultural resonance.
