Matila Mann has announced her second album and a UK tour to support it.
The London-based singer-songwriter will release 'Kismet' on September 4, follow up her 2025 debut 'Roxwell'. She wrote and recorded it with her collaborator Jonah Summerfield at his North London studio. Explaining its title and motivation, she said:
“Kismet” - is defined as destiny; fate. A hypothetical force or personified power that determines the course of future events.The world is so chaotic, full of questions, highs and lows and a lot of the time most of us don't know what we're doing. We want to make the most out of the one life we've been given and mistakes are a terrifying thing.
"But I like to think that there's a comfort in leaning into what the universe has in store, when you start to think of every rejection as a form of being redirected to somewhere you're actually meant to be. I know that can sound naive or like you're refusing to see anything negative, but I believe there's an art in trying to be a positive thinker. It's hard to do, but over time it's helped me appreciate the little things and people that mean the most to me. I hope this album can be your escape into seeing life a little brighter.”
Mann has previewed the record with the new single The Fig Tree, which features her sweet, laid-back vocals atop multiple layers of bright and breezy instrumentation. Discussing its inspiration, she revealed:
“It’s based off the poem by Sylvia Plath; where she struggles with the overwhelming decision of what to do with her career. Something we all have to go through and though it can feel hopeless and constantly changing, I wanted to try and write something that made it all feel lighter.”
Mann will support the new album with a headline UK tour in October, calling in Manchester, Newcastle, Glasgow, Bristol, Birmingham and London, where she'll wrap up the run at the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire on October 16. Tickets go on general sale at 10am on May 28.
