Sarah Klang Releases New LP Beautiful Woman

Swedish singer and songwriter Sarah Klang has released her anticipated full-length album, Beautiful Woman. Produced by Eric D. Johnson (Fruit Bats, Bonny Light Horseman), Beautiful Woman sees Sarah use her own lived experiences to unpack the very essence of what it means to be a woman today.

Klang shares: “Ultimately, Beautiful Woman is a celebration of womanhood and girlhood. It doesn’t really have a lot of love songs; it’s not focussed on a specific guy. This is an album about the awkwardness of being a child, a teenager and about understanding your relationship with your body and self in a patriarchal world.”

Spanning childhood to the tumultuous teenage years and into young adult life, its topics wanting to fit in (Other Girls), revisiting painful memories from childhood (Childhood), needing love but worrying about the co-dependency that comes with it (Last Forever), and issues of body confidence as adulthood approaches (Beautiful Woman). It’s a fresh, but equally comforting set of deeply personal, introspective tracks from an artist for whom such reflection comes naturally.

Beautiful Woman is also the product of a new creative process for Klang, who switched her previous preference for home recordings by heading to Los Angeles, where her Go To The Sun co-writers, the aforementioned GRAMMY®-nominated producer Eric D. Johnson and her regular collaborator / co-producer Theodor Stocks led sessions which focused on live performances with the help of top tier musicians such as drummer Josh Adams (Cat Power, Beck) and bassist Josh Mease (The Weeknd, Fruit Bats). The process was completed with similarly highly accomplished contributions, with mixing by Jarvis Taveniere (King Gizzard, Avalanches) and mastering by Heba Kabry (Big Thief, Björk, Future Islands).

Sarah Klang has always had a talent for autobiographical songwriting, like on her acclaimed debut Love In The Milky Way’(2018), which won Best Album at the Swedish Grammis awards. It continued on Creamy Blue (2019), which earned two more Grammis nominations as well as a nod for European Album Of The Year at the IMPALA Awards. While her sound had previously touched upon ‘60 and ‘70s pop, Americana, and an undercurrent of country, 2021’s acclaimed VIRGO added elements of ‘80s synth-pop to the mix and led to a second Grammis, this time for Best Alternative Pop. In 2023, Sarah signed to Nettwerk and released Mercedes, which earned yet another Grammis nomination (Best Pop Album of the Year) as well as widespread international praise.

Sarah Klang will follow the release of the Beautiful Woman album by heading out on a European headline tour, followed by U.S. dates at SXSW and in Los Angeles on 17th March at the Moroccan Lounge. The European tour includes a date in London at the Metronome on the 29th April.

Larkin Poe Bloom At Rough Trade East

Garbage Celebrate Three Decades Of Defiance At London’s Roundhouse

Thirty years into a career built on challenging convention, Garbage arrive at London’s Roundhouse looking anything but content to trade on nostalgia. Despite three decades of touring the capital, tonight marks the band’s first appearance at the iconic Camden venue, and from the moment Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker, Butch Vig and touring bassist Nicole Fiorentino step onto the stage, they perform with the urgency of a band still determined to push forwards rather than look back.

Full Circle At O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire: Lifehouse Return To London In Intimate Acoustic Triumph

There are gigs that simply entertain, and then there are gigs that transport you. Lifehouse’s long-overdue return to London at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire is very much the latter. Eleven years since their last visit to the capital, Jason Wade and longtime guitarist Steve Stout strip everything back for the second of two London acoustic shows—following the previous evening’s performance at nearby Bush Hall—and in doing so remind a packed Shepherd’s Bush Empire exactly why these songs have endured for a quarter of a century.

It was yet another warm, sunny London day, the start of the country’s next heatwave, as thousands descended on Hyde Park for the final day of the second BST Hyde Park weekend of 2026. There was another event looming over the evening too: England’s World Cup Round of 16 clash with Mexico, kicking off at the decidedly unsociable hour of 1am. Football could wait though. Sunday belonged to disco legends, glam-pop icons and one of Britain’s most enduring bands as Duran Duran headlined a day that effortlessly balanced nostalgia with timeless musicianship.
