Here’s more good news for 2022: There will be a new album from MØ.
The Danish alt-pop artist recently detailed her third album, the awaited follow-up to 2019’s Forever Neverland. It’s called Motordrome, and it’s out January 28 via Columbia. To give us a taste — actually, two tastes — the talent born Karen Marie Aagaard Ørsted Andersen has shared two new singles in “Brad Pitt” and “Goosebumps.”
The synthwave-esque “Brad Pitt” is now streaming on Spotify, while the more ballad-like “Goosebumps” comes correct with a visual directed by longtime collaborator Rob Sinclair (David Byrne’s American Utopia) and Lewis Knaggs, filmed last month after a MØ hometown show at Copenhagen’s Den Grå Hal.
“‘Goosebumps’ was the first song I intentionally wrote for Motordrome,” says MØ. “Both the song and the video are about remembering who you are, who you were, and who you aspire to be. I wanted the video to tell the story of pulling yourself out of the mind’s prison and back into life.”
We’re here for it. Fire up “Brad Pitt” on your way to the club, and utilize “Goosebumps” en route back home after a fun night out. Oh, and check out some MØ live dates before the jump.
