‘The Afterparty’ releases on the 8^th of May featuring 9 new songs which she debuted at Coachella. Li has already given fans an insight into her new project, having released ‘Lucky Again’, ‘Sick Of Love’, and ‘Knife In The Heart’ previously. The three available songs from her new album are available to stream on major platforms including Spotify and Apple Music. While Li has yet to release any music videos for ‘The Afterparty’, an acoustic rendition of ‘Lucky Again’ can be seen on YouTube. Before returning to Coachella, she can be seen singing on the street, captioning the video “on our way back to the desert x.”

The album was co-produced with Björn Yttling, who has contributed to many of her other projects such as ‘EYEEYE’ and ‘I Never Learn’. This will be the singer-songwriter’s sixth studio album, only this time alongside a 17-piece string orchestra. In an interview with Vogue she explained her process, stating “I wanted to make something super maximalist, over the top, and use every instrument I’ve ever been curious about.”

Anticipation over the unreleased album came after Li’s listening party in Los Angeles where she stated, “it is my sixth album, and maybe my final.” With confirmation by Pitchfork, fans are preparing for this to potentially be her last album. Additionally, in her interview with Vogue, she claimed “I think it’s the final album in this incarnation of myself that started out as such a young person.” However, she reassured fans “I’ll keep making music, but is it as a solo artist, where you put so much out there? Or in another form,” hinting at a new era for herself.
