Nabihah Iqbal returns with ‘DREAMER’, her long-awaited new album on Ninja Tune. Five years on since the London-born artist, curator, broadcaster and lecturer’s debut, ‘Weighing Of The Heart’, was released, and two years in the making, ‘DREAMER’ is Nabihah’s rawest and most reflective work to date.

It arrives at a pivotal time for Nabihah, who has made her prolific work rate look effortless, with a resume as varied as her music, having recently collaborated with artist Zhang Ding, been commissioned to compose music for the Turner Prize, collaborated with Wolfgang Tillmans as part of his Tate Modern exhibition and recently being involved in a group performance at the Barbican as part of its major Basquiat retrospective.

She has also contributed to Serpentine’s recent book, ‘140 Artists’ ideas for Planet Earth’, and has given guest lectures at the Royal College of Art. Nabihah has been appointed as guest director for England’s largest multi-arts festival, Brighton Festival, in 2023, her “biggest, most challenging and exciting curatorial position” to date.

For fans of Kelly Lee Owens, Tirzah, Leon Vynehall.
