MØ, real name Karen Marie Ørsted, has shared details of her third album.
The follow-up to 201's 'Forever Neverland' is called 'Motordrome' and will arrive on January 28 via RCA. It features contributions from collaborators Caroline Ailin, Noonie Bao, Ariel Rechtshaid, Jam City, S.G. Lewis, Linus Wiklund and Yangze, and will include previously released tracks Live To Survive and Kindness.
As a further preview, the Danish artist has dropped two new cuts from the record, Brad Pitt and Goosebumps. The former is a punchy, synth-led electro-pop offering, while the latter is a haunting, piano ballad that comes with a video directed by longtime collaborator Rob Sinclair and Lewis Knaggs.
Karen says, "both songs are, in each their way, about remembering who you are. Remember that you can shine? Remember there’s a chance of breaking out of the prison that is your mind? To actively move your body out of the loop and into the world."
Commenting on the LP, she added: "I hope that people will feel that it's genuine and that there are stories there that they can connect with. For me, this album represents a huge change in my life. Even though I'm still doing what I love doing, it does feel like a new chapter. An era of my life is over and I’m entering a new one. That is scary, but it’s freeing."
She'll support the release with a UK and European tour in February, which includes a London date at Heaven, followed by US shows in April. Tickets go on general sale at 10am on November 17.
