Tom Krell, aka the neo-R&B crooner behind How To Dress Well, will be dropping his third album, What Is This Heart?, on June 24 via Weird World. We’ve already heard “Words I Don’t Remember” and “Repeat Pleasure” (as well as it’s heartbreaking music video), but now we get a new mixtape of covers, edits, and some of the music he’s been spinning recently as a peek into the record.

Considering What Is This Heart? is an “ambitious 21st century pop album,” the NO WORDS TO SAY: Songs for “What Is This Heart?” mixtape serves as a 52-minute slosh of “songs that inspired the record, songs that resonate w me in the way the songs on ‘WITH?’ resonate w you i hope.” Not only are their pieces of Beyonce, The Starting Line, Future, and Angel Olsen, but around the 25 minute mark Krell takes a shot at a brief cover of Taking Back Sunday‘s “You Know How I Do.” It’s a little all over the place, but in Krell’s words, “The tracklist = some meditative religious moments (tracy, JB, pure x, maxwell & sean, EN) + some pure-hearted pop moments (quan, EBTG, prince, ana caprix) = NO WORDS TO SAY”
