Vagabon, a.k.a. Lætitia Tamko, has shared a new single and video entitled “Do Your Worst,” the latest track from her recently announced upcoming album Sorry I Haven’t Called, out September 15 via Nonesuch Records. The song, produced by Tamko, Rostam, and Teo Halm (SZA, Rosalía, FKA twigs), features a delirious breakbeat beneath an intoxicating melody and Vagabon’s reflective lyrics. “Do your worst, no one cares,” she declares.
“I was nestled in the German countryside when Teo Halm and I were experimenting in my home studio late into the night, I was listening to a lot of club music and I set out to make an instrumental that drew from the music you’d hear at an underground club in Germany or the UK yet still lived in the Vagabon musical lexicon,” Tamko explained. “A year later, when I returned to the US, I got Rostam involved and he had a great idea of adding a layer of live drums on top of the breakbeat from my Germany session.”
