Lykke Li has released a powerful new single, ‘Midnight Sharing’ – listen to it below.
This past Friday (September 6), the acclaimed Swedish art-pop singer-songwriter released ‘Midnight Sharing’. The song was produced by Greg Kurstin and partially engineered by Jesse Shatkin.
On the rousing track, Li sings: “Yeah, I keep on runnin’, darlin’ / And be the shadow fallin’ / Yeah, I keep on cryin’ on for you / Last time I woke up runnin’ / Got me up, midnight shinin’ / Last time I’m dyin’ for, for you“.
Listen to the anthemic ‘Midnight Shining’ below.
‘Midnight Shining’ marks Lykke Li’s fourth release of the year. In March, she released her first single in two years, a cover of Johnny Cash’s ‘Ring Of Fire’ for the Netflix film Damsel. Following that, she featured on Abstract Crimewave’s ‘The Gambler’ in late May, and most recently guested on Ben Böhmer’s ‘Hiding’ in July.
Li’s last album was 2022’s ‘Eyeye’, her fifth studio record. In a four-star review, NME wrote that it was “more of an art-pop mood piece than a home for singles” and “a record that breathes, sighs and will leave you lost in the same dazed revery that these tracks were born from”.
The artist herself referred to the record as an “attempt to compress a lifetime of romantic obsession and female fantasy into a hyper-sensory landscape” while capturing “the intimacy of listening to a voice memo on a macro dose of LSD”.
Li also spoke shortly after its release that she was planning on “reworking” the album to make it “more like an ambient, instrumental, sonic dream”.
