A random shuffle brought up Tonight by Lykke Li, from 2008's Youth Novels, and a welcome reminder that I should listen to the album again.
What I'd missed/forgotten was that Lykke's sixth album, The Afterparty, is coming on 8th May. At the weekend, a couple of videos/singles were posted in advance, Lucky Again and Knife In The Heart.
When I say videos, they look more like TikTok clips, looped to match the respective songs duration. Even so, a compelling watch and listen.
Compared to Tonight, both are uptempo, poppier affairs although even causal attention to the vocals reveals the darker lyrical narrative that Lykke writes so well.
Welcome back, Lykke.
You can order The Afterparty from most of the usual places, including Lykke's official website.
