Background and recording

Humanise includes collaborations with Jon Hopkins, Obi Franky, Massiah, poet James Massiah, and the Trans Voices choir. Throssell said she intended the album to be for her "trans and queer family and our allies", [1] [2] describing the incorporation of queer creators in the album as "active resistance". [3]

Composition

DJ Magazine described the album as incorporating more vocal elements than HAAi's previous work and her output as a DJ; [2] [4] all of the tracks excluding one include vocals. She stated that this change came about as she felt she needed to "start writing more directly about my own experiences". [3] Clash described the sound of "Can't Stand to Lose" as being influenced by both electronic music and other genres such as shoegaze. [5]

Promotion and release

The first singles of the album, "Can't Stand to Lose" and "Shapeshift" were released on 11 February and 11 April 2025 respectively. [4] [6] The album was announced on 28 May, alongside the first single "Satellite". [2] This was followed by "Hey!" on 22 July and "Stitches" on 10 September. [7] [8] The album is intended to release on 10 October on Mute Records. [9]
