Young Fathers released their critically acclaimed third album Cocoa Sugar in March via Ninja Tune. The record–produced, written and recorded by the band throughout 2017–is Young Fathers’ biggest commercial and critical success to date. Featuring the singles “Lord,” “In My View” and “Toy”, Cocoa Sugar builds on the widespread acclaim of their two previous full length records; 2014’s Mercury Prize winning DEAD and 2015’s White Men Are Black Men Too. The album was recently named Scottish Album of the Year (SAY Award). The group’s single “Toy” is also currently featured in a global Apple Watch Series 4 commercial, which can be seen here: https://youtu.be/ms4yxJcvW3s.
