Lykke Li and longtime collaborator Björn Yttling worked on the new album, which follows 2022′s EYEEYE, in Los Angeles and recorded in Stockholm with a 17-piece string orchestra.
Here’s how the album is described, per an official release: “The Afterparty is a confrontation with mortality, hedonism, and impermanence—soundtracked by disco-glowing strings, gospel brightness, and Balearic warmth, even as the lyrics fixate on loss, futility, and the search for meaning. At just 24 minutes, the album is exacting and unsparing, a study of shame, survival, and joy held together by sheer will.”
