Because the artist has published a special edition of his second album with 5 completely unreleased songs: Strangers, A cure for minds unwell, Someone I could die for, The Ancient art of always fuckink up and Old navy bluand.

This is the full message from their social networks:
First of all I want to start by saying that I hope all of you are doing perfectly well out there. I miss you. As many of you know, I’m currently taking some time off to focus on my health and well-being, and everything is going great! I have been working with some amazing professionals to help me learn and better cope with my Tourette syndrome and anxiety issues. I am very happy to say that I have noticed a marked improvement in both since I decided to take some time off in June.
I was completely overwhelmed by the reaction to the news that I was taking a break and I really want to thank each and every one of you who reached out, left a comment, tweet or DM wishing me well, the support was like nothing. I’ve experimented and become more excited than ever to get back to doing what I love at some point in the not-too-distant future.
Right now I want to thank you enormously for the support you have given to my second album. This album was kind of scary for me – if you’ve seen the movie I made with Netflix you probably already know this. Because I was terribly terrified that I would disappoint you and not meet expectations and it would be an absolute flop. But thanks to all of you, it wasn’t. It’s amazing to see the songs on this album still resonating despite the fact that I’m not there promoting them or being on tour. It means everything to me. Which brings me to the reason this big bastard wrote this letter.
Before my decision to screw everything up for a while, I always hoped to publish an extended edition at some point. After some discussions about whether it was the right thing to do or not, I’ve decided that it would be a shame if these five extra songs, which are so incredibly special to me, were left on my hard drive. never see the light of day. With this I want to express that I am delighted to present Broken by desire to be heavenly sent (Extended Edition) and that it will be available for listening on New Year’s Day.
For now I’m going to continue taking time for myself, to feel better, maybe to write some music and reflect on some of the most incredible years of my life. I want to make sure I’m 100% to go back and do all those shows and everything I love most in the world right.
These songs mean everything to me and I would have been disappointed if I hadn’t been able to share them. I hope they serve you all until we can be together again in a venue and sing them one day very soon all together.
Broken by desire to be heavenly sent (Extended Edition), on sale at midnight. Happy new year. Lots of love. Lewis X
