Maverick Sabre announces fourth LP, shares new single & unveils Dublin & Cork dates

Wexford-born London-based artist Maverick Sabre has announced his highly-anticipated fourth LP Don’t Forget To Look Up - out 28th January 2022 via FAMM.

The follow up to 2019’s When I Wake Up, the introspective 12-track release was conceived in lockdown and sees Maverick examine and unpick love in its various iterations. Traversing recollections of previous relationships, to examining the societal pressures placed on couples, Don’t Forget To Look Up is both intimate and inquisitive at the same time.

From the brooding vulnerability of opener ‘Falling’, to his recent Demae collaboration ‘Not Easy Love’, this impressive body of work places Maverick’s sultry tones in centre stage. Don’t Forget To Look Up sees Maverick step up on production duties - producing half the tracks on the album.

Calling on the legendary Nile Rogers to provide the guitar on the shimmering, disco cut ‘Get Down’ and the vocal acrobatics of Sasha Keable for the evocative ‘Middle of Eden’ - Maverick carefully weaves collaborators through the project.

Maverick has also shared the second release from the project, ‘Walk These Days’. Pairing a hypnotic half-sung half-rapped chorus with ethereal instrumentation, the single marks a divine taste of what’s to come from the album.

Maverick will be returning to the stage in 2022 for a 9-date UK and Ireland tour, starting with a homecoming show at The Academy, Dublin on 17th Feb and closing on 10th March at the Alexandra Palace Theater, London.

Presale opens at 9am on Wednesday, November 3rd with tickets on general sale from 9am on November 5th.

Platinum-selling, BRIT-nominated artist Maverick Sabre has collaborated with the likes of Jorja Smith, Joey Bada$$, Bugzy Malone, Chronixx, Rudimental, Vintage Culture, Kojaque and George The Poet. The Wexford-born artist has a flair for working with the best artists, producers and tastemakers in the scene.
