Lykke Li has today (October 9) made her return with the release of her new single, ‘BRON’.

Li had previously teased the opening lyrics to the song on Instagram, with the location set as ‘Bron’.

Producer Rostam commented “they ain’t ready” with three fire emojis, which might suggest the two have worked together on more new music of Li’s.

‘BRON’ marks the first new music we’ve heard from Li since she dropped her ‘Still Sad Still Sexy’ EP in 2019, which served as an extension to her 2018 album ‘So Sad So Sexy’.

In an interview with NME last year, Li said that her forthcoming album – her fifth – will differ from her recent releases.

“I think, maybe to everyone’s disappointment, I’m going to really scale it down and back and slow it down,” she said. “It’ll be more like soul music. It’ll still be sad, and still be sexy.”

As for Göransson, he scored his first Emmy win last month for his work scoring The Mandalorian. He had previously won both an Academy Award and a GRAMMY award for the score of Black Panther.
