Lykke Li has revealed that she’s currently “reworking” her latest album ‘EYEYE‘ to make it “more like an ambient, instrumental, sonic dream”.The Swedish singer-songwriter released her acclaimed fifth album last week, with NME describing it as “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”.Having previously 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 now says that a new version of the album will explore the more ethereal elements of the songs.“I’m reworking it, and it’s going to become even more like an ambient, instrumental, sonic dream,” she told NME. “It’ll be stripping it down and touching the more psychedelic aspects.“I always ping-pong from where I’ve been, and I want to go somewhere I haven’t been.

I felt like this was the most interesting path to explore – making something very raw, direct, intimate and homemade. I wanted to return home.”Li previously made a reworked sister record to her pop-driven 2018 album ‘So Sad So Sexy‘ with the following year’s ‘Still Sad Still Sexy‘.Having started work on the record before the COVID pandemic took hold, the artist said that she “went into my own emotional lockdown before the actual lockdown” in order to pen the songs.“I’m looking back at a relationship, examining myself and making it more scene-by-scene with the fundamental themes of love and obsession,” she said.
