Keath Ósk, formerly known as Yaelokre, has launched a new solo era with the announcement of debut album 'Foreword' and lead single 'And The Hound'. The release marks a reinvention of the Filipino-Icelandic artist's earlier acoustic indie-folk material, re-recorded and reimagined with a bolder, more theatrical sound as Ósk steps out under their own name for the first time.

'Foreword' is set for release on 4 September via Atlantic Records and features 12 tracks, including a cover of Bonnie Tyler's 'Holding Out For A Hero', produced with South London-based Jack Hardman (Good Dog) and incorporating brass, woodwinds and touches of alt-pop, hip-hop and jazz. Ósk will also embark on a world headline tour from 7 October, taking in European dates including London's O2 Shepherds Bush Empire on 29 October, before a North American leg beginning 9 November in Orlando and concluding in Houston on 20 December.
