Swedish star Agnes is back with her brand new single, Balenciaga Covered Eyes, lifted from her upcoming sixth studio album.
Serving as the follow-up to her 2021 release, ‘Magic Still Exists’, the new record from the Release Me hitmaker features contributions from Kerstin Ljungström, Vincent Pontare, Salem Al Fakir, Magnus Lidehäll, Hanna Wilson, and Frans Bryngel
“After my last album, I found some gems – people I really wanted to continue working with,” says Agnes. “I wanted to keep it to a small group to maintain that intimate feeling this time too. It allowed me to push both myself and others even further. We pushed boundaries and dared to experiment.”
According to a press statement, the LP “is about embracing contradictions, showing both strength and vulnerability, and letting go of the pursuit of perfection”.
The On And On star adds of her new track: “It all started with an image I saw in my mind: a person in the midst of chaos of luxury, parties, mess, and gazes. Someone who appears confident and glittery on the surface, but where something else is happening inside – behind those ‘Balenciaga covered eyes.’
“But the song was also born from a feeling that I wanted to write something I myself want to hear when I go out on a weekend.
