John Glacier - Like A Ribbon (Three EPs)
Within the UK, there are a select few burgeoning icons, artists that push the boundaries with their musical output while embodying a
presence across all mediums that feeds into mass intrigue and curiosity. London-based rapper, poet and producer John Glacier is one
of the few that can lay claim to this status. After years of garnering intrigue across the mainstream and underground, John Glacier will
finally release her debut album, Like A Ribbon, via Young on February 14th, 2025. Referring to the seamlessly neverending threads of
relationships and responsibilities that overlay to form the ribbon of modern existence, Like A Ribbon finds John Glacier providing an
accurate snapshot of her life as it has played out on her meteoric rise; from a insular, simple existence growing up in Hackney, to
projecting stories to the world while aiming to maintain a semblance of normalcy in what is a very extraordinary life. Executive producer
Kwes Darko helps to lay the sonic tapestry for the weaving of John’s own tale, alongside contributions from the likes of Flume, Mk.gee
contributor Andrew Aged, Surf Gang, Eartheater, Sampha and more. Like A Ribbon is the story of living in a modern world, told through
an imaginatively otherworldly lens. A highly feted vocalist whose work was subject to huge demand even before her debut project
SHILOH: Lost For Words was released, John Glacier has pushed the boundaries of what defines UK rap with a diaristic approach that
shines a light on the mundanities of everyday life and the complexities of human emotion, all through her own unique phrasing and
perspectives. This sensibility, alongside her own externally perpetuated mythology, has also provided allure for the fashion world, with
John becoming one of the faces of and providing bespoke poetry for Daniel Lee's iconic debut campaign for Burberry, as well finding
fans in the likes of Bottega Veneta, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, J.W. Anderson, Miu Miu, Alexander McQueen and so many more. Her debut
album Like A Ribbon gives John Glacier the platform to explore the outer reaches of her immersive sound, traversing her own psyche
in a way that's both abstracted and wholly relatable. Her poetic style takes center stage on the LP, defining modern life as a young
woman growing up in Hackney; tied to the place she was born while existing on a whole other plane
