Lykke Li continues the momentum behind her acclaimed sixth studio album The Afterparty with the release of a new remix of fan favorite “Sick of Love,” reimagined by Grammy Award-winning producer, songwriter, and electronic innovator Mura Masa.
The remix transforms one of the album’s most emotionally charged moments into a hypnotic late-night anthem, layering pulsating electronic textures and immersive production around the vulnerability that made the original version resonate so deeply with listeners. While Mura Masa introduces a fresh sonic perspective, the remix preserves the emotional core of the song, creating a version that feels both familiar and entirely new.
Originally released as part of The Afterparty, “Sick of Love” quickly emerged as a standout track among fans, embodying many of the themes that define the album. Across the project, Lykke Li explores heartbreak, desire, transformation, mortality, and self-discovery through some of the most personal songwriting of her career. The album has been widely praised for its emotional honesty and cinematic atmosphere, further cementing her reputation as one of modern music’s most distinctive voices.
The arrival of the Mura Masa remix offers a new lens through which to experience the song. Known for his ability to blur the boundaries between electronic music, pop, and experimental production, Mura Masa injects “Sick of Love” with an irresistible sense of movement and tension. The remix amplifies the track’s emotional weight while opening it up to dance floors and late-night playlists alike.
The release also arrives during a significant moment in Lykke Li’s career. Earlier this year, Drake’s chart-topping single “Janice STFU” incorporated elements of Lykke Li’s beloved breakthrough song “I Follow Rivers,” earning her first songwriting credit on a Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single. The achievement introduced her songwriting to a new generation of listeners while underscoring the lasting influence of a catalog that has shaped alternative pop for more than a decade.
Released via Neon Gold and Futures, The Afterparty finds Lykke Li embracing vulnerability with uncommon clarity. Written during what she described as an intensely reflective period of her life, the album examines emotional extremes, from destruction and grief to hope, renewal, and rebirth. The result is a body of work that feels both intimate and expansive, connecting with listeners through its unflinching honesty.
With the release of “Sick of Love (Mura Masa Remix),” Lykke Li continues to deepen the universe surrounding The Afterparty. Rather than simply revisiting a popular album track, the remix reveals new dimensions within the song, highlighting both artists’ ability to transform emotion into atmosphere.
As anticipation builds around her upcoming festival appearances and international tour dates, the remix serves as another reminder of why Lykke Li remains one of the most compelling and influential artists in contemporary alternative music. Whether experienced through the original recording or Mura Masa’s reimagined version, “Sick of Love” stands as one of the defining moments of The Afterparty era.
