Dave steps back into the spotlight with The Boy Who Played the Harp, a powerful and reflective third album that cements his place among the most distinctive artists of his generation. Across ten tracks, he explores the intersections of love, faith, and modern life through layered production and vivid storytelling. The project features standout collaborations with Tems on “Raindance,” Kano on “Chapter 16,” and Jim Legxacy on “No Weapons.”
Longtime collaborator James Blake joins him again on “History & Selfish,” continuing a partnership that began with We’re All Alone In This Together. Dave also takes the production lead, crafting or co-producing nine out of ten tracks, showcasing the growth he’s achieved since Psychodrama. Fans will recognize the return of his annual birthday freestyle, “My 27th Birthday,” continuing the tradition that started with “My 19th Birthday.”
To celebrate the release, Dave announced a massive European arena tour set for early 2026, with stops across Munich, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, and four nights at London’s O2 Arena. It’s the next chapter in the journey of an artist whose music continues to evolve with honesty and intent.
