Sufjan Stevens has released a new song, ‘Will Anybody Ever Love Me?’. It’s the second preview of his forthcoming album Javelin, which is out October 6 and includes the recent single ‘So You Are Tired’. The self-produced track features additional vocals from adrienne maree brown, Hannah Cohen, and Megan Lui. Check out its Stephen Halker-directed video below.
“The first time I sang the song I started crying, I was so moved by the honesty of the questions,” adrienne maree brown said in a statement. “Sufjan is an impossibly brave and gifted writer.”
“Being in the studio with Sufjan is like watching an alchemist at work,” Cohen commented. “He creates a new realm, building our voices from a gentle choir, then morphing us into sirens raging from the sea.”
“‘Will Anybody Ever Love Me?’ felt like a glimpse into Sufjan’s past records but spins into an epic collage of voices and instruments,” Liu added. “His vision of melody and composition are astonishing and working with him and Hannah in the room was pure joy.”
