See Clear Now is an album by United Kingdom grime artist Wiley. It was originally set to be released as I See Clear on October 13, 2008. The album features collaborations with Lily Allen, electropop group Hot Chip, and DJ/producer Mark Ronson in "Cash in My Pocket" (contributing "a few trumpets… but it's not brass overload"). The album's first single, "Wearing My Rolex" was succeded by the single "Summertime" on September 22 and "Cash in My Pocket".
Wiley describes I See Clear as "his first pop album", explaining that he wants to "push boundaries" while also "staying in the charts by making tunes that connect with people. It's pop all the way from here". He explained that he had wanted to work with Allen since hearing her debut album Alright, Still, and that his collaboration with Hot Chip came about after the two acts performed a version of "Wearing My Rolex" at the 2008 Glastonbury Festival. He also expressed a desire to be "the male equivalent of Missy Elliott" in relation to blending pop appeal with musical innovation.
