Producer and DJ Jayda G has announced the new album Guy, which is out June 9 via Ninja Tune. The record’s lead single, “Circle Back Around,” comes with a visual directed by David Ehrenreich. It was filmed in Jayda G’s Canadian hometown, Grand Forks, British Columbia, and includes the musician’s family footage and clips of her late father, William Richard Guy. Watch below.

Jayda G co-produced Guy with Jack Peñate, and it has contributions from Ed Thomas, Ibeyi’s Lisa-Kaindé Diaz, and more. The record also includes archival recordings from Jayda G’s father. “I wanted the album to be a blend of storytelling, about the African American experience, death, grief, and understanding,” Jayda G said in a statement. “It’s about my dad and his story, and naturally in part my story, too, but it’s also about so many people who wanted more for themselves and went on a search to find that. This album is just so much for people who have been oppressed and who have not had easy lives.”

Guy follows Jayda G’s 2019 debut, Significant Changes, and 2021’s DJ-Kicks: Jayda G.
