It's been three years since Dagenham's Devlin linked up with soul man Maverick Sabre on a track. Sabre—a known fan of grime and underground music—remixed his 2014 song "Emotions (Ain't Nobody)" with Chip, George The Poet and Devlin dropping off some heartfelt rhymes for the Chaka Khan-nodding number. Today, however, it's official business: "Blow Your Mind"—Devlin's new guitar-strumming single—sees Irish crooner Mav inject the hook with dreamy soul, whilst D-E-V-L-I-N's double-time bars bring it right back to the dirt.

"'Blow Your Mind' is just me having fun, unloading lyrics on a lovely beat and Maverick Sabre doing what he does best," Devlin told Complex over email. The single is lifted from the MC's forthcoming album, The Devil In (out on Feb. 10), which has him going back to his lyrical roots. "When you write an album, you think about concepts, tunes, touching people," he says. "But it was good to just fucking go in with the wordplay. I used to say, 'Give me a Michael Myers horror movie beat so I feel like I can chase it down' and I feel like I've taken it back to the essence with this album."
