Manchester rapper Aitch has made a comeback with the release of his new single ‘Learning Curve‘. The new single is accompanied with its music video, which was released last week.
With honest lyrics delivered with a direct tone Aitch – real name Harrison Armstrong – has not failed in producing hit singles. Three years ago Aitch produced freestyles on Youtube that would soon go viral and in 2019 the rapper rose quickly to fame with the single ‘Taste It (Make It Shake)‘. 2020 would see Aitch awarded with his first ever BRIT Award nomination in Best New Artist after an insane year which involved him making the UK Top 40 a grand total of three times. Not only this but his collaboration with AJ Tracey on the single ‘Rain‘ would be nominated Song of the Year, as well as going Platinum.

In such a short amount of time Aitch has attracted mass listeners from around the globe – the single ‘Rain‘ has gathered over 39 million views on YouTube and over 100 million streams on Spotify – and has made a definite mark on the UK rap scene. Now 21 years old, the release of ‘Learning Curve‘ and a return to social media can only mean promising things for the year ahead. The smooth, authentic style in Aitch’s singles is something that has been missing since his break from social media and releases of new music. In an interview with NME Armstrong explained that despite his absence, the creation of new music for his debut album has not been put on hold. For now no release date can be confirmed for the debut album, but he did reveal to NME that there are over 30 tracks for him to choose from.
Of what can be revealed from the NME interview with Aitch, is that his new debut “will 100,000 per cent be a proper Manchester album”. Aitch elaborated on this decision, stating “it always feels good to be in my hometown. It might be a bit selfish of me to say, but I also really like it when everyone from London has to come up north for a change!”
On another personal note for the future debut, Armstrong also explained that “it’s funny thinking about people’s perception of me, based on what I’ve already released…I’m happy for people to think that I’m there to sort the clubs out – and don’t get it twisted, I’ve definitely missed making that sort of music and catching a vibe. But there’s so much more to me than that, and it has been good to have a break and concentrate on other things”.
After time away, ‘Learning Curve‘ was definitely an appropriate re-entering onto the scene. The music video for ‘Learning Curve’ has been praised for its diversity, involving an inclusive cast. You can watch the music video below.
