The tour will act as support from Leftwich's upcoming third album, set for release early next year via Dirty Hit. 'Gratitude' is the first single released from the record, and builds upon the foundations that brought him success with his sophomore album in After the Rain from 2016. The track incorporates a full, more layered production alongside his emotive lyrics, resulting in a dark and electronic soundscape.
