New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Vagabon, aka Lætitia Tamko, whose new album, Sorry I Haven't Called, is out this Friday on Nonesuch, has shared one final taste of the album, a video for the Mariah Carey-inspired "Lexicon," the most jubilant track on an album comprising the most playful and adventurous music of Tamko's career. You can watch the video, directed by Kathleen Dycaico, here:
Tamko credits album co-producer Rostam (Vampire Weekend, HAIM, Clairo) with taking the song over the finish line and unifying her vision. "I wrote the song, the verses, the chorus, all of the bridge, and all of that, but I couldn't find a place for it on the record sonically," she says. "When I revisited the album with Rostam in LA, he said give me a minute with it, and he just got it."
Vagabon is currently on tour across Europe as special guest of Arlo Parks. She leads her own headline tour of North America in October, then returns to Europe as special guest of Weyes Blood, and back to the States for headline shows on the West Coast.
