Maverick Sabre has today announced his third album as When I Wake Up will be released on March 22 2019, followed by an Ireland and UK headline tour.

Independently released, the new record is described as an acutely personal and poignant body of work from the respected songwriter and artist and includes powerful features from Jorja Smith and Chronixx.

The emotive second single from the album, ‘Her Grace’, featuring Chronixx, premiered earlier this week.

Speaking on the video, Maverick Sabre said:

"With each of the videos for this album I've wanted to tell strong, emotive stories that carry across the feeling and message of the song. Her Grace is about the unspoken unheard struggles of women that go unnoticed in society and this video feels like a glimpse into an inner battle within that."

Shaun Grace, the director quotes;

“When the opportunity arose to work on something powerful with Mav I couldn’t say no. I wanted to explore the day to day emotional and physical endurance needed to cope with domestic abuse and also the deeper, continuing cycles of conflict that affect both the abused and the abusers.

I made the choice to cast my baby within this film as I knew how to get the reactions I needed from her comfortably. Even though I’ve watched it dozens of times in the post process, that final shot of the baby in the bathroom leaves me wondering what their future holds”
