Lykke Li has shared a video for her song, “utopia.” Directed by Clara Cullen, the visual features footage of Li as a child with her mom, as well as current clips of her and her toddler son. “MOTHER TO MOTHER TO MOTHER,” she writes in the video’s description. “Utopia is all my mother ever wanted for me and all I ever want for him.” Watch it below.
“utopia” is from Li’s forthcoming studio album, so sad so sexy, which is due out June 8 via RCA. The new record includes the previously released singles “deep end” and “hard rain.” It also features a guest verse from Portland rapper Aminé. Producers on the full-length include Malay, Rostam, Jeff Bhasker, T-Minus, and others.
Li’s last solo record was 2014’s I Never Learn. In 2016, she formed a group called LIV with Miike Snow’s Andrew Wyatt and Pontus Winnberg, Björn Yttling (of Peter Bjorn and John), and Jeff Bhasker.
