The announcement comes following the release of her gorgeous comeback single “Everybody Loves You”. Watch the video here.

Director Joseph Wilson explains the video as following SOAK whilst she “navigates through a world of temptation before eventually succumbing and accepting the chaos and love into her life.” He adds, “the video expands upon themes from the song, and plays upon the idea of rejecting something that deep down you know you want;  flowing from a straightforward narrative into a visceral, dream-like state, emulating the journey from reticent caterpillar into technicolour butterfly.”

The track is the first sight of new SOAK material since her 2015 critically-acclaimed debut album, ’Before We Forgot How To Dream’. One of the Mercury Prize’s youngest ever nominees, the record also won the prestigious Choice Music Prize for Album of the Year, the Northern Irish Music Prize, saw SOAK shortlisted for a Q Award (’Best New Act’), as well as taking home the European Border Breaker Award.
