Get ready to rave! The wait is over – Swedish House Mafia has dropped a tantalising teaser of their long-awaited collaboration with Lykke Li, the enigmatic and talented Swede, in Ibiza's sun-kissed Ushuaïa on June 28. 'Happiness Is So Sad' promises to be an explosion of beats that will leave you breathless – and it's set for official release on July 31.
The Swedish supergroup – comprised of Axwell, Steve Angello, and Sebastian Ingrosso – has always been the lifeblood of electronic music festivals. But this latest collaboration is something special, with Lykke Li joining forces to create a true masterpiece that's bound to ignite dancefloors worldwide. According to Ingrosso, the 'Swedish Avengers crew' behind the track boasts an impressive collective talent that's simply unstoppable.
Lykke Li herself has given a glimpse into the creative process behind 'Happiness Is So Sad', telling Vogue Scandinavia about Sebastian Ingrosso's "insanely positive and infectious" energy – which helped ease her initial nerves. The Swedish singer-songwriter has been at the forefront of the dance music scene for years, with hits like 'I Follow Rivers' (remixed by The Magician) still getting rave reviews in European clubs today.
And it's not just her solo material that showcases Lykke Li's innovative style – she's also collaborated with Mark Ronson on 2019's 'Late Night Feelings'. Her latest album, 'The Afterparty', was released in May to critical acclaim, and with a career spanning six albums (including the fan-favourite 'EYEYE'), it's clear this talented Swede is here to stay – or so she thinks.
The Swedish House Mafia crew will be back on stage every Sunday at Ushuaïa Ibiza until September 13, where you can experience their electrifying performances first-hand. But that's not all – the trio has also announced a massive homecoming show in Gothenburg, Sweden, set for August 29 – an event that promises to be one of the biggest headline shows of the summer!
