Professor Green on forthcoming new album: 'It's heavier and has more guitars'

Rapper Professor Green has revealed that his upcoming new album, which is entitled 'Growing Up In Public', will have more emphasis on the raw sound of live music.

Speaking to The Sun newspaper about what will be his third full-length offering, the 'I Need You Tonight' hitmaker explained that he wanted to create a heavier body of work so brought in more guitar parts and focused on the attitude put across with live performances:

"I've got a new label but the people know where they are going. There are more live guitars and it's heavier. 'Avalon', the last single from the last album, is a big hint at where I'm going."

He also revealed that his new single, which is a collaboration with Miles Kane called 'Are You Getting Enough?', is about consumerism:

"It started with Miles. He wrote the song then didn't use it on his albums. We changed it a lot, with heavier guitars. It's about consumerism — not in a preachy way, I can't stand that s**t. It's about greed and gluttony. I'm a victim of it. If a new iPhone comes out I'm straight there, even though I don't use any apps, apart from Twitter, which I use far too much."
