The Boy Who Played The Harp, the title track to Dave’s third chart-topping album, is a twisting, introspective song that sees the Brit Award-winning rapper wrestling with his power, privilege and purpose after becoming one of the biggest artists in the UK. It ends with the realisation that if keeps “exposing” his emotions, that vulnerability will inspire others to do the same and the world will be a much better place for it.
It's ambitious stuff but on Friday night, at the first of six sold-out homecoming shows at London’s O2 Arena, Dave fully embraced that mission.
