UK icon Tinie Tempah returns with the announcement of his fourth album, ‘The Night’s Not Dead’, slated for release on 16th October via Imhotep Records/Believe. The album is set to be unveiled uniquely through 3 EPs, ‘9PM, 12AM and 3AM’, creating a series of interconnected chapters which follows Tinie on a distinct moment during a night out. The EPs will be released over the next 12 weeks before culminating in the full album, which will amalgamate all 3 EPs and include additional tracks. The album is available to pre-order here.
Later this year Tinie is set to embark on a run of UK/EU dates as part of ‘The Night’s Not Dead’ tour, kicking off in Stockholm on 16th November, ahead of a London stop at Roundhouse on 3rd December. Tickets are available here.
The new single ‘Heaven or Hell’, out today, featuring Reggie, arrives as the final instalment of ‘9PM,’ which captures the anticipation of the evening ahead: dinner parties, getting ready, gathering friends, picking up last minute drinks and setting intentions. ‘9PM’ is out now and available here, featuring previously released singles ‘Eat It Up’, ‘Living Life’ and ‘Energy.’
The second chapter ‘12AM’ will immerse listeners in the energy of the club itself, where music becomes a shared experience and individual stories merge into something collective. ‘3AM’ moves into the intimacy of the afterparty; the conversations, reflections and unexpected moments that often become the most memorable parts of the night. Further information on 12AM and 3AM, is set to be unveiled at a later date.
‘The Night’s Not Dead’, marks Tinie’s first full-length project since 2017’s ‘Youth’ and is a celebration of nightlife as a cultural force. Not simply clubs or parties, but the human connection that happens when people leave their homes, gather in shared spaces and experience music together. It is about community, discovery, freedom, friendship and the moments that can only happen when people choose to be present with one another.
The project arrives at a time when those spaces are increasingly under threat. Across the UK, grassroots venues continue to close at an alarming rate, putting vital cultural ecosystems at risk. These venues are often where future artists find their voices, where communities are built and where lifelong memories are formed.
