Matilda Lyn reveals details of upcoming debut album, Red Dragonfly
Swedish singer-songwriter Matilda Lyn has announced her debut album, Red Dragonfly, and shared title track "Red Dragonfly".
"Red Dragonfly" follows previous single "Detach", and serves as a moment of clarity on the album for Lyn. Speaking about how the track came to be, which explores the breakdown of the self during a destructive relationship, Lyn explains: “Sometimes a song almost writes itself in a way, like it’s been in your body and mind for a long time."
Discussing the album, which follows her EPs A Bowl Of Unripe Fruit and Sunwarmed, Lyn adds: “Red Dragonfly, to me, drifts through transformation and change, reminding me of who I truly am. The record moves between beginnings and endings, intertwined with each other. This is the first time I’ve made music and been totally aligned with how I want it to sound. This is me being the truest form of myself in 11 songs.”
Red Dragonfly is released on 28 August via The Orchard
