May 19, 2018 Lykke Li By Christopher Roberts

Sweden’s Lykke Li is releasing a new album, so sad so sexy, on June 8 via RCA. Previously she shared its first two singles, “hard rain” and “deep end,” as well as a video for another song from the album, “utopia.” Now she has shared a video for “deep end.” The intimate video was shot on an iPhone and chronicles a night at a hotel and in a pool. It’s a vertical video, which is hopefully an annoying trend that doesn’t catch on. Watch it below.

Earlier in April Li shared a mysterious new 90-second teaser trailer that featured new instrumental music and was also entitled so sad so sexy. It featured the singer/songwriter is various states of dress in several settings.

Lykke Li’s last album was 2014’s I Never Learn. In February she shared a new cover of Jim Croce’s 1972 single “Time in a Bottle.”

In 2016 and 2017 Lykke Li released some music with LIV, a Swedish supergroup that features Li, her romantic partner Jeff Bhasker, Andrew Wyatt from Miike Snow, Pontus Winnberg from Miike Snow and Amason, and Peter Bjorn and John‘s Björn Yttling. In September 2016 the band was announced via the debut of their first song, “Wings of Love.” Then in October 2016 we were treated to a NSFW video for the song directed by Li in her directorial debut. Then in November 2016 there was another song from the band, the slow-burning “Dream Awake.” In June 2017 LIV shared a third song, the upbeat “Heaven,” via its lyric video. Then in September 2017 they shared a delicate new song, “Hurts to Liv.”
