Rag’n’Bone Man fulfils his “dream” on new Danger Mouse collab ‘Time To Love’

Rag’n’Bone Man has joined forces with Danger Mouse and shared a new single called ‘Time To Love’. Check it out below.

The track marks a new chapter for the singer-songwriter, as he pushes his signature, soulful sound into new territory.

“We love broken hearts/ If there’s no hope down that road/ Tell me how we got this far,” he sings at the beginning of the song, backed by a simple piano melody, before an electric beat kicks in behind him.

“How do I overcome/ The fear that is so strong/ On your own,” he sings. “There’s a war inside my mind/ It’s running out of time/ It all comes crashing down/ I’m tryna keep myself together.”

The song pairs the distinctive, heartfelt vocal style of Rag’n’Bone Man with the cinematic production style of Danger Mouse. The finished result blends nods to blues, soul and hip-hop, and explores the idea of pushing life’s obstacles aside to make time for deeper connection.

“‘Time To Love’ is about taking a moment to let love exist – even in a fast-moving world, but also about opening up to the possibility of finding love after a long time being shut off,” Rag’n’Bone Man said.

“Working with Danger Mouse has always been a dream of mine: I love his recognisable stamp and creative approach. Having the opportunity to work with him has allowed me to explore a different side of my sound and still lean into some of my longstanding hip-hop influences. I’m really proud of what we’ve made.”

The singer – real name Rory Charles Graham – hinted at the collaboration with Danger Mouse before the song arrived, and also joined up with the hit producer last month, when the two of them worked with The Roots’ Black Thought on the song ‘Up’.

The latest track follows on from the success of Rag’n’Bone Man’s third studio album ‘What Do You Believe In?’, which was released in October last year, and featured singles ‘Rush of Blood’, the title track, and ‘Put A Little Hurt On Me’.

Last month it was confirmed that the singer will be joining Nieve Ella in supporting Snow Patrol, as the band head out for a 2026 UK and Ireland headline tour next summer.
Dates include a huge show at London’s Crystal Palace Park, and you can find tickets here.
