Lykke Li’s new LP The Afterparty is set to arrive on Friday, and ahead of the release the Swedish pop star has shared an epic disco-tinged anthem entitled “Happy Now.” Led by perfectly placed DJ scratch sirens, shuffling drums, and buzzing synth melodies, Lykke offers up an homage to longing, desire, and trying to figure out what the hell is going on. Desire is a helluva drug, as they say.
Regarding the new track, Lykke said: “Jon Fosse walks into a rave and doesn’t come home. ABBA and The Prodigy have a baby and it won’t stop crying. An unanswered prayer on a dancefloor. God isn’t picking up.”
