Lykke Li has announced a new album called THE AFTERPARTY. It’s set for release on May 8 via Neon Gold Records/Futures, and the swirling disco of ‘Lucky Again’ is our first preview. Check it out below.
THE AFTERPARTY follows 2022’s EYEYE. “I was twirling around in love addiction for all those albums,” Li remarked. “Now I’m going into my existential era.” She likens the album’s character to “Ram Dass for fuckboys,” explaining, “I find that we’re in an era where everyone is talking about, ‘My higher self’, Fuck that. This is an album dealing with your lower self: your need for revenge, your shame, despair.”
Of ‘Lucky Again’, she commented: “To me it’s samsara in a song. 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.”
