On the upcoming album, Lauv said, “I’ve been working on this album for a long time, but today marks the true beginning of the new era. ~how i’m feeling~ is about embracing personality and all its different aspects. I created six different characters represented by purple (existential Lauv), blue (hopeless romantic Lauv), green (goofy Lauv), yellow (positive Lauv), orange (fuckboy Lauv) and red (spicy Lauv™️), all of which make up my identity. While my last project was focused on one aspect of my life, ~how i’m feeling~ Is the first time I’m embracing all the parts that make me who I am.”
Speaking about ‘Sims’, Lauvremarked, “the ‘Sims’music video, coming soon, brings the album concept and characters to life for the first time. I’m more proud of this project than anything I’ve done in the past. For the first time, I’m fully me.”
Tonight, Lauv is set to perform his current single ‘fuck, i’m lonely’ with Anne-Marie on top US chat show Late Night With Seth Meyers. The track has more than 125 million streams to date and has been on the UK top singles chart for over two months. In addition to being on Lauv’s upcoming album, the song was also included on the current third season of the popular Netflix show 13 Reasons Why, as well as this seasons soundtrack.
Lauv kicked off 2019 with his hit UK GOLD-certified single ‘i’m so tired…’ in collaboration with Troye Sivan, that has accumulated more than 500 million global streams.
