See Clear Now[4] is the fifth studio album by English grime artist  Wiley. The album was released on 10 November 2008. It was originally set to be released as I See Clear on 13 October 2008.[5]

The album features collaborations with electropop group Hot Chip, and DJ/producer Mark Ronson in "Cash in My Pocket". The album's first single, "Wearing My Rolex"[6] was succeeded by the single "Summertime"[5] on 22 September[7] and "Cash in My Pocket".

Background

[edit]

Wiley describes See Clear Now as "[his] first pop album", explaining that he wants to "push boundaries" while also "stay[ing] in the charts by making tunes that connect with people. It's pop all the way from here".[6]

He adds that people should listen to Race Against Time (2009) instead because it isn't commercial and he would have more artistic control.[8]
