Jordan Rakei has announced his forthcoming seventh album ‘A Safe Place To Be Wild’, due out on 30 October 2026 via Fontana.

The singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist & producer has also shared the full-length’s first single ‘Enemies’ alongside details of his biggest-ever UK and European headline tour.

Set for release later this year, ‘A Safe Place To Be Wild’ sees Rakei embracing a more instinctive and personal approach to songwriting. Exploring themes of self-acceptance, vulnerability and creative freedom, the new record strips everything back to raw emotion, capturing an artist unafraid to be honest, playful and completely himself.

Discussing brand-new single ‘Enemies’, Jordan commented, “‘Enemies’ has a playful, almost arrogant energy to it, not from bitterness, but from self-confidence. It’s an ownership song about not taking any more crap, rising above past dynamics, and turning all of that into positive energy. It’s dedicated to all the enemies of my past, haha.”

Over the past decade, the artist has built a devoted following thanks to his distinctive blend of soul, jazz, alternative R&B and pop. Across six acclaimed albums, Rakei has continued to evolve his sound while collaborating with artists including Loyle Carner, Tom Misch and Bonobo. His sixth album, The Loop, earned a nomination for Best Album at the 2025 Ivor Novello Awards, adding to a growing list of industry recognition.

Known for his captivating live performances, Jordan has appeared at festivals including Glastonbury and sold out London’s Royal Albert Hall twice. Now, following a creative period that included becoming the first artist in residence at Abbey Road Studios and building his own studio outside London, he’s entering an exciting new chapter with ‘A Safe Place To Be Wild’.
