Watch: Lykke Li Returns With ‘I Never Learn’ Album Trailer
Lykke Li’s new album is out 5th May - watch a trailer.

As promised, Lykke Li has announced a new album, ‘I Never Learn’.
The follow-up to 2011’s ‘Wounded Rhymes’ comes out on 5th May.
‘It’s always about me and the guilt and the shame and the hurt and the pride and the confusion of being a woman,’ she stated about the record in a recent interview with NME. ‘I always feel like I’ve been slightly misunderstood. As a woman you get judged for appearances or things like that I don’t really care about. If anything I want to be seen as a singer-songwriter rather than a pop artist. I really feel like I’ve found my voice.’
A new trailer showcases nearly three minutes of new music. Further details are yet to emerge, but watch the trailer below and celebrate the return of the Swedish popstar.
