Lykke Li’s final album is coming this spring. The Afterparty lands on Neon Gold Records/Futures on May 8, and a Max Richter-sampling lead single, “Lucky Again” is out now. You can listen to that, and peruse a full tracklist, below.
The Swedish singer’s new record marks her first LP since 2022’s EYEEYE. She recorded The Afterparty in Stockholm with a 17-piece orchestra and what she describes, in a press statement, as “apocalyptic bongos.”
“I find that we’re in an era where everyone is talking about, ‘My higher self.’ Fuck that,” Li added. “This is an album dealing with your lower self: your need for revenge, your shame, despair, all of it.”
To support the record, Li has lined up a series of live dates, including a London show with Wolf Alice and a Mexico City show with Robyn. She’ll also perform at both weekends of Coachella this April. Browse all her forthcoming live dates below.
