Lykke Li recently let loose that she's planning to release a follow-up to 2011's Wounded Rhymes in May. Oh, thank god. It's been way too long since she released something, which has meant crying in the shower has become a daily occurrence for us.

Her new album will complete what she considers a trilogy that began with 2008's Youth Novels. Although the new stuff remains untitled, it definitely has a theme; it's about a breakup. "It's always about me and the guilt and shame and the hurt and the pride and the confusion of being a woman," she told NME. It also seems like her new album will be less pop-y and have more of a singer-songwriter vibe. "As a woman you get judged for appearances or things that I don't really care about. If anything I want to be seen as a singer-songwriter rather than a pop artist," she said. "I really feel like I've found my voice."

We're definitely looking forward to hearing it, but in the meantime, here's one of our favorite tracks, "I Follow Rivers", to tide you over.
