Moses Boyd Returns After Five Years

Moses Boyd has broken a five-year silence with 'Say Yeah', a gospel-inflected single that marks a departure from the darker textures of his Mercury-nominated debut Dark Matter. The track draws from Kirk Franklin while remaining rooted in UK spiritual jazz and sound system culture.

Boyd wanted the hook to be simple and universal, not limited by language or cultural differences—a mantra for the dancefloor as much as the spirit. The track evokes gratitude, unity, and joyful celebration, tapping into the drummer's nuanced relationship with faith.

After half a decade working away from the spotlight, Boyd's return suggests a shift toward brightness—a rare quality in his catalogue. The single dropped July 1, 2026.
