Sarah Klang Teams Up With Fruit Bats On New Single Last Forever

by | Sep 15, 2024

Having just played a sold-out headline date in London at Lafayette, Sweden’s Sarah Klang and acclaimed artist Fruit Bats now come together on Last Forever. A gentle combination of bluegrass fingerpicking guitar combined with headier pop melodies while Klang and Fruit Bats trade lead vocals on verses creates a country-tinged pop song and one of the few love songs on her upcoming album, details forthcoming.

Klang shares: “This collaboration was an eye-opener to me because it immediately opened two creative worlds: suddenly there were two perspectives and that is very new for me to have. To get to work with someone I admire so much was a dream come true, and I felt like it made me a stronger writer too.”

Last Forever, along with the previously released Beautiful Woman, are produced by GRAMMY®-nominated singer, songwriter and producer Eric D. Johnson of Fruit Bats and Bonny Light Horseman. While Klang’s last album Mercedes was a meditation on motherhood, Beautiful Woman and now Last Forever introduce a more expansive theme as she explores and celebrates womanhood and girlhood in all of its complicated beauty.

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), her second album that earned another nomination for ‘Best Album’ and ‘Best Alternative Pop’ at the Grammis awards, and another nod for ‘European Album Of The Year’ at the IMPALA Awards. While her sound had previously touched upon a mix of influences (‘60 and ‘70s pop, Americana, an undercurrent of country), 2021’s acclaimed album VIRGO broadened her scope to include elements of ‘80s synth-pop (again winning a Grammis for Best Alternative Pop). In 2023, Sarah signed to Nettwerk Music Group and released Mercedes, an album inspired by her experience becoming a first time mother to her daughter, for whom the album is named. It earned Sarah yet another Grammis nomination for Best Pop Album of the Year, and received praise from tastemakers.
