Lykke Li has unveiled her latest single ‘Lucky Again’, marking the first release from her upcoming sixth studio album, ‘The Afterparty’.
The album – which will be released on 8th May via Virgin Records – is described as a bold new chapter for the artist. Discussing her new creative direction, Lykke Li says, “I was twirling around in love addiction for all those albums. Now I’m going into my existential era.”
‘Lucky Again’ features a sample from Max Richter’s interpretation of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. “To me it’s samsara in a song,” she explains. “The wheel of life; winning, losing, living, dying. Having had something and praying you’ll have it again. Whether it’s sex, money, vitality, love. I always said I wanted the Vivaldi song at my wedding or funeral but I think this is giving more revenge heist energy.”
The tracklisting for ‘The Afterparty’ reads:
‘Not Gon Cry’
‘Happy Now’
‘Lucky Again’
‘Famous Last Words’
‘Future Fear’
‘So Happy I Could Die’
‘Sick Of Love’
‘Knife In The Heart’
