Building on the momentum of 2018’s The Runaway, Kyle Abraham reunites with James Blake's genre-bending sound and Giles Deacon’s elegantly flamboyant design, pushing the company to new heights in a mashup of classical bravura and contemporary swagger.

Following The Runaway (2018) and the films Ces noms que nous portons (2020) and When We Fell (2021), Love Letter (on shuffle) is Kyle Abraham's fourth work for New York City Ballet. The ballet for 16 dancers features music by London-born singer, songwriter, and producer James Blake. Love Letter (on shuffle) premiered at the 2022 Fall Fashion Gala with costumes designed by fashion designer Giles Deacon, and lighting by Dan Scully.
