Album Notes & Community Reviews

On her fourth studio album, Swedish artist Lykke Li made a significant sonic pivot, embracing the sounds of modern trap and alternative R&B. Working with a team of producers that included Malay, T-Minus, and her ex-husband Jeff Bhasker, she crafted a record that explores heartbreak through a contemporary, melancholic lens. The album's glossy production and hip-hop influenced beats marked a bold departure from the indie-pop of her earlier work.
