In a career-defining move, Will Clarke has revealed his debut album, Midnight Mass, due out in the fall of 2024.
A 13-track project that traverses the crossroads of house and techno, Clarke’s upcoming effort will see him teaming up with a cadre of talented collaborators, including HAYLA, Blythe and Sharlene Hector. The album is said to serve as a testament to his evolving artistry, showcasing a heightened focus on profound vocal energy and meticulous songwriting.
Thematically, Midnight Mass merges Clarke’s signature club-ready production with rich, soulful melodies, offering fans a deeper emotional connection while still delivering the high-octane rhythm to which they are accustomed.
Alongside the album, he will debut an “innovative” live show concept across six major North American cities, beginning in Los Angeles on November 22nd, according to a press release issued by Armada. Offering a cinematic experience that goes beyond a typical DJ set, the live production will complement the collaborative spirit and unifying force of the album itself.
“I’m tipping my hat to the sound that has defined me so far, but this collection of songs goes beyond just being suitable for a DJ set,” Clarke said. “I wanted each track to have a strong vocal presence and to work both in a club setting and for casual listening. Collaborating with unbelievably talented artists, who became close friends during the process, was the most important part of making this album. I hope that sense of collaboration shines through in the music.”
Midnight Mass is scheduled to drop on November 8th. You can pre-save the album here.
