COMING OF AGE RECORD
The 30-year-old’s latest album = (Equals) is the fifth instalment in his symbol album series and follows 2017’s Divide. He started working on it in 2017 and describes it as being a “long, long process”. “I’ve been through love, loss, new life and everything in between while writing it and I feel like it’s really a coming-ofage record. I’ve never been more proud of a body of work.” One of the songs, Visiting Hours, holds a special place in his heart. “I finished this song for my friend Michael, who sadly passed away this year.”
