Vagabon, aka Lætitia Tamko, whose new album, Sorry I Haven’t Called, is out this Friday on Nonesuch, has shared one final taste of the album, a video for the Mariah Carey–inspired “Lexicon,” the most jubilant track on an album comprising the most playful and adventurous music of Tamko’s career. You can watch the video, directed by Kathleen Dycaico, here:

Tamko credits album co-producer Rostam (Vampire Weekend, HAIM, Clairo) with taking the song over the finish line and unifying her vision. “I wrote the song, the verses, the chorus, all of the bridge, and all of that, but I couldn't find a place for it on the record sonically,” she says. “When I revisited the album with Rostam in LA, he said give me a minute with it, and he just got it.”

Vagabon is currently on tour across Europe as special guest of Arlo Parks. She leads her own headline tour of North America in October, then returns to Europe as special guest of Weyes Blood, and back to the States for headline shows on the West Coast.

    “‘Dawning’ has multiple meanings for me,” composer/guitarist Yasmin Williams says of her first song on Nonesuch, out today, which features Aoife O’Donovan on vocals, Kafari on rhythm bones, and Nic Gareiss’ percussive dancing and provides an early peek at her new album, which the label will release in early 2024: “the dawning of my professional music career and a new love in my personal life, the dawning sky that appeared when I first started writing this song, and me smiling to myself with dawning recognition that I get to create music that I love for a living and share it with the world. This song represents a major shift in how I approach my music and expands the possibilities of what my songs can be.”

    Vagabon, aka Lætitia Tamko, has released her new album, Sorry I Haven’t Called, out now. On the album, Tamko reinvents herself once again with the most playful and adventurous music of her career. Co-produced by Tamko and Rostam (Vampire Weekend, Haim), the album features twelve vibrant tracks she wrote and produced primarily in Germany that channel dance music and effervescent pop through her own confident sensibilities. “This record feels like what I've been working towards,” Tamko says. “It's completely euphoric.”
