Reading rapper Songer has released his new album 'WHAT IF I SAY NO?' in full, following on from his 2024 breakthrough project 'The Price Of Therapy', which helped move him from underground acclaim to wider recognition. The release matters as a showcase of his all-round musicianship, since he retains creative control over the production as well as the writing and performing, and it comes ahead of his biggest headline tour to date this autumn, culminating in a show at London's O2 Academy Brixton.

The album features a guest appearance from fellow artist KiLLOWEN and continues Songer's focus on mental health and male emotional openness, with production spanning golden-age hip-hop to grittier UK sounds. Songer has described his songwriting as a way of processing his shifting daily perspective and separating rational thoughts from irrational ones, framing the record as an extension of his ongoing commitment to personal honesty in his music.
