It\u2019s been four long years since we last heard from Lykke Li<\/a>, but good things truly do come to those who wait, because the Swedish singer just announced that her sixth studio album, The Afterparty<\/em>, arrives on May 8.<\/p>\n

The Swede broke the news on Feb. 13, saying in a statement, \u201cI was twirling around in love addiction for all those albums. Now I\u2019m going into my existential era.\u201d Expect the album to touch upon themes of mortality, hedonism, and impermanence \u2014 perennially relevant topics that feel particularly apt in this current moment \u2014 as the singer searches for the meaning of it all through her lyrics.<\/p>\n

The project is set to feature nine new tracks, including the disco-infused lead single, \u201cLucky Again.\u201d \u201cTo me it\u2019s samsara in a song,\u201d Li says of the song. \u201cThe wheel of life; winning, losing, living, dying. Having had something and praying you\u2019ll have it again. Whether it\u2019s sex, money, vitality, love. I always said I wanted the Vivaldi song at my wedding or funeral but I think this is giving more revenge heist energy.\u201d<\/p>\n
