Vagabon, aka Lætitia Tamko, has shared a music video for her new song “Do Your Worst,” which is the latest single shared from her upcoming album Sorry I Haven’t Called. This LP, which was co-produced by Tamko and Rostam (Vampire Weekend, Haim, Clairo), is due out September 15 via Nonesuch. “Do Your Worst” also saw co-producer Teo Halm (SZA, Rosalía, FKA Twigs) on the track. Check out the video below, followed by Tamko’s upcoming tour dates.

Sorry I Haven’t Called stems from a place of grief for Tamko after her best friend passed away in 2021. She then sold her possessions and moved to a small lakeside village in northern Germany to process everything.

Of “Do Your Worst,” Tamko says in a press release: “I was nestled in the German countryside when Teo Halm, who co-produced this with me, 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. A year later, when I returned to the U.S, 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.”

Sorry I Haven’t Called finds Tamko reinventing herself once again and features the most playful and adventurous music of her career. “I didn’t feel like being introspective. I just wanted to have fun,” Tamko says.

Tamko previously shared two songs off of Sorry I Haven’t Called; “Carpenter,” which made our Songs of the Week, and “Can I Talk My Shit?”
