Little Dragon have teamed up with Moses Sumney for a new song, The Other Lover.
The track taps into the soul-tinged electro-pop aesthetic that the Swedish group are known for, with flourishes of French horn punctuating lucid falsetto vocals.
"When we reached out to Moses we didn’t know what to expect," Little Dragon said. "What we received was very stripped down, with his beautiful voice. We jammed along and sent it back. It bounced back from his end with added horns and sounded beautiful to our ears. We are very proud of this."
Sumney added: "I've been listening to Little Dragon for a very long time; as a teen, their first album impressed upon me just how infinite modern soul music can be. When they asked me to collaborate I was so honored and surprised ('shook', as the kids say), that it took me a while to come around. They worked with me, egoless, to craft a new vision for their song. I’m proud of what we came up with."
The Other Lover is a rework of Little Dragon's Another Lover from their latest LP, 'New Me, Same Us', released back in March via Ninja Tune. Sumney, meanwhile, dropped 'græ' in May.
Little Dragon recently rescheduled their spring London show for a second time due to COVID-19. The band will now take over the O2 Academy Brixton on November 18, 2021, with original tickets remaining valid for the new date.
