*** w/ RobynWith one month to go until the release of her highly anticipated forthcoming album, The Afterparty, internationally acclaimed and beloved Lykke Li has dropped yet another irresistible tease, this time with her latest track “Sick of Love, out today with a visual – watch HERE.
If “Lucky Again” was the euphoria and the high of the party, “Sick of Love” is when the endorphins fade and the comedown sets in. Drawing upon themes from earlier songs through uplifting metronomic Balearic percussion and a post-comedown lens, imagining herself lingering at the party as the cleaners sweep up the dregs. “It’s this moment of complete humiliation, and you’re trying to be strong,” she says. “I had a lot of fun writing these lyrics,” she says, “I laughed a lot.” That sense of mischief carries into the song’s closing: the voices of children laughing and playing, the echo of an inner child she refuses to let go
Listen to “Sick Of Love” HERE
“Sick of Love” comes just days ahead of her Coachella performance, where she will be hitting the stage on Friday, April 10 and again on Friday, April 17. This will be the first time Lykke Li performs music from her latest body of work and marks the beginning of her 2026 tour which will take her to The Fonda in Los Angeles on April 14, then to Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Mexico City Ireland, London and across Europe this summer.

Executive produced and written by Lykke Li and longtime collaborator Björn Yttling in Los Angeles and recorded in Stockholm with a 17-piece string orchestra, The Afterparty blends disco-glowing strings, flute flourishes, and what Lykke Li calls “apocalyptic bongos,” with lyrics that confront shame, desire, and existential uncertainty. At just 24 minutes, the album is both expansive and exacting, a dance record for the end of the world, capturing the strange clarity that arrives once the party is over.
Across nearly two decades, Lykke Li has carved a singular lane in modern pop defined by emotional extremity, melodic precision, and fearless intimacy. Since her breakout debut Youth Novels (2008) and the global success of “I Follow Rivers,” she has continued to evolve through the critically acclaimed Wounded Rhymes (2011), I Never Learn (2014), So Sad So Sexy (2018), and the immersive audiovisual album EYEEYE (2022).
