Sweden’s Sarah Klang Shares New Single Beautiful Woman And Announces London Live Date

by | Aug 5, 2024

Acclaimed Swedish artist Sarah Klang has returned with Beautiful Woman, the stunning first single from her upcoming full-length album. Produced by Eric D. Johnson (Fruit Bats, Bonnylight Horseman), the soaring, piano-driven indie pop ballad is accompanied by a cinematic video that features a vulnerable Klang expressing the song’s sentiment through powerful movement and imagery.

Her stream-of-consciousness storytelling is on full display on Beautiful Woman, which centres on a young Klang as she becomes aware of her own sexuality. What starts joyful is quickly dimmed by struggles with body image and society’s definition of “beautiful.” She shares: “Beautiful Woman takes place in my teenage bedroom and in my stupid little teenage head, as I discover my sexuality, try to be thin like Paris Hilton, and grow up believing that becoming a beautiful woman is the great meaning of life.”

While Klang’s last album Mercedes was a meditation on motherhood, Beautiful Woman introduces a more expansive theme as she explores and celebrates womanhood and girlhood, in all of its complicated beauty.

The 31-year-old 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 (‘60s 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, the Gothenburg native 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 Klang yet another Grammis nomination for Best Pop Album of the Year, and received widespread praise.

Sarah Klang has European tour dates and festival appearances planned throughout the rest of summer, as well as a headline show at London’s Lafayette on 8th September. Check out all of her upcoming live dates with ticket details here.

When other punks from the same era are slowing down, settling into nostalgic anniversary shows or stately home summer shows, Pop is sticking to what he knows best: his iconic back catalogue, spread out across a full band, tied together with hypnotic charisma.
