But because of its ever-increasing popularity and saturation, artists are demanded to create something different in order to stand out. That’s where Jelani Blackman comes in. Labelled one of “the great British debuts of 2023” by DIY Magazine, his new album, ‘The Heart of It All’, is a perfect example of what’s created when an artist has a genuine love and respect for music. Album opener, “Arrival”, taps into nostalgia, while the piano-led hook on “Clear” leans into expectations of love, while album highlight “When You Feel It,” sounds like a James Blake-esque masterpiece, with the almost-interlude record “Faded” gently leaning into club-ready electronics. Celebrating the release of his debut album, Jelani Blackman teamed up with Arsenal Football Club for an intimate launch party, unveiling the project IRL to a crowd of music and football lovers. Whether it’s teaming up with Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller, artist Reuben Dangoor, and typography expert David Rudnick to create artwork across The Emirates or linking up with British fashion imprints Maharishi and Stella McCartney for collaborative collections, the club makes sure it steps correctly on and off the pitch. Now linking up with Blackman to support his debut album, The Gunners latest move proves how tightly woven into the fabric of the UK’s creative scene they really are — cementing their status as the Premier League's preeminent culture club. To celebrate the release of his debut album, Hypebeast caught up with Jelani Blackman to learn more about his relationship with Arsenal, his earliest football memories, and how his club is forging bonds within London’s musical landscape.
