MØ announces new album 'Motordrome,' releases new tracks “Brad Pitt” and “Goosebumps”
Danish electropop artist MØ has announced their third studio album Motordrome.
The record, which follows the artist’s 2018 studio album Forever Neverland, will be released on January 28 via Columbia Records. To celebrate the announcement, MØ dropped the new singles “Brad Pitt” and “Goosebumps” today. The music video for “Goosebumps,” which was co-directed by longtime collaborator Rob Sinclair and Lewis Knaggs, can be seen below. MØ said this about “Goosebumps”:
“‘Goosebumps’ was the first song I intentionally wrote for Motordrome. 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.”
For Motordrome, MØ worked with Caroline Ailin (Dua Lipa, Katy Perry, Ellie Goulding), Noonie Bao (Halsey, Charli XCX, Carly Rae Jepsen, Ariel Rechtshaid (Haim, Vampire Weekend, Adele), Jam City (Olivia Rodrigo, Troye Sivan), S.G. Lewis (Dua Lipa), Linus Wiklund, and Yangze to help flesh out the release. The artist said this about their forthcoming album:
“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.”
MØ will be promoting the album with a slew of performances in Europe and the United States. Their upcoming tour dates can be seen below. “Brad Pitt” and “Goosebumps” are available on digital services right now.
