Evolve (Sub Focus album)

Evolve is the third solo studio album by British DJ and record producer Sub Focus, released on 12 May 2023 through EMI Records. It was supported by the UK top-40 single "Ready to Fly", a collaboration with English DJ Dimension, which was also certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).

Background and artwork
Sub Focus stated that his intention was to "channel elements of [his] musical evolution over the course of this album", particularly his 1990s influences and "dance acts that introduced [him] to electronic music like The Chemical Brothers through to the early hardcore and jungle music [he] was discovering back then". He also expressed that he "wanted to make an album that speaks to [his] D&B core, with breakbeats laced through every track as a backbone".

The cover was made by AI after Mat Maitland and Claudia Raphael from design agency Big Active and Sub Focus put close-up photos of nudibranchs, a type of brightly coloured sea slug, into an AI generator.

Commercial performance
The album is Sub Focus's second-highest charting on the UK Albums Chart, debuting and peaking at number 33 and staying on the chart for two weeks. The album was most commercially successful in New Zealand, where it debuted at number eight and charted for 15 weeks.
