Swedish singer-songwriter Lykke Li hasn’t released much in the way of solo music since her last LP, 2014’s I Never Learn, outside of some features and covers of Drake’s “Hold On, We’re Going Home” and, for some reason, Jim Croce’s “Time in a Bottle.” Now the “I Follow Rivers” singer is back with a new album, so sad so sexy, due out June 8 on RCA. Last night, she posted the cover, tracklist, and two advance songs from the album, “deep end” and the Rostam-produced “hard rain,” both of which illustrate a strong R&B and hip-hop influence. A glance at the tracklist for the album bears this out: Its sole feature comes from Oregon’s own “Caroline” rapper Aminé. Listen to “deep end,” which features production from pop hitmakers Jeff Bhasker, Malay, and T-Minus, and “hard rain” below.
