Rising Swedish pop star, Ellinor Olovsdotter, better known by her stage name, Elliphant, is dropping her sophomore album entitled Living Life Golden on March 25th, reports Pitchfork. This week, she has shared a track off the forthcoming album, "Where Is Home," featuring Brooklyn-based George Lewis, Jr., AKA DJ/producer Twin Shadow.
"Where is Home" is synth-pop gold, complete with soaring guitar chords and twinkling pianos behind a boom-clap beat. It marks something of a departure from Elliphant's usual dancehall flow and ragga vocals and demonstrates her versatility.
Stream and download the new track for free over at Red Bull. There are only 1000 total downloads available, so act fast or settle for streaming.
The Elliphant-Twin Shadow collaboration is just one part of Red Bull's 20 Before 16 series which aims to premiere 20 new tracks (and offer them for download) from a set of rising stars who are, in the words of Red Bull, "set to continue their upward trajectory in 2016." Also featured in the series are Kelela, Tokimonsta, Mr. Carmack and Awolnation among others.
In addition to sharing "Where is Home" via Red Bull, Elliphant also dropped another track from her forthcoming album today. "Step Down" is an upbeat techno-infused pop song. Listen to it via the artist's YouTube channel below.
While Living Life Golden will be Olovsdotter's North American debut, she is no stranger to major collaborations with other A-list musicians. As Consequence of Sound reports, the singer-songwriter has worked with Diplo, Skrillex and TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek among others in just the past few years of her burgeoning career. Last year the singer joined Charli XCX on her Girl Power North American Tour. She also opened for Major Lazer during a recent European tour.
The Dr. Luke-produced Living Life Golden is set to feature even more major collaborations. Azealia Banks is reportedly on one track; New Orleans bounce artist Big Freedia is on another.
