Summary
Lykke Li discusses her sixth studio album 'The Afterparty,' which grapples with existential dread about AI, war, capitalism, and climate change. She reflects on her quest for ultimate freedom from the music industry's status quo, her desire to 'unsubscribe' from traditional industry expectations, and the tension between hope and chaos in the modern world. Despite previous hints that this might be her last album, she now suggests it probably isn't.
