Every afterparty ends with a morning. And sometimes, a new kind of freedom. Hana Knížová photographs Lykke Li for Vogue CS.
Lykke Li has never been the artist to compete for attention. Yet for nearly two decades, she has remained one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary music.
The Swedish singer-songwriter graces the cover of Vogue Czechoslovakia’s July issue as she returns with The Afterparty – her sixth studio album, which she describes as a possible final chapter of an era.
In a conversation with Veronika Sirotková, she reflects on beauty standards, life in Los Angeles, motherhood, her love of all things analog, and why freedom matters more to her today than ever before. She also opens up about whether The Afterparty truly marks the end of an extraordinary musical journey.
