Vagabon has shared the third single from her upcoming album, Sorry I Haven’t Called. "Do Your Worst" follows "Carpenter" and "Can I Talk My Shit?" from Lætitia Tamko's third album, which will be released on September 15 via Nonesuch Records.
This latest track, produced by Tamko alongside Rostam and Teo Halm, marks something of a gear change for Vagabon with her slower, contemplative sound turbo-charged by a jungle beat that hits as hard as the lyrics. "You turn me into someone I don’t fuck with," she sings between the breaks, taking aim at someone that wronged her in the past. "Every time we talk there’s something missing. How the fuck did we get by?"
"I was nestled in the German countryside when Teo Halm, who co-produced this with me, and I were experimenting in my home studio late into the night, I was listening to a lot of club music and I set out to make an instrumental that drew from the music you’d hear at an underground club in Germany or the UK yet still lived in the Vagabon musical lexicon,” Tamko says in a statement. “A year later, when I returned to the U.S, I got Rostam involved and he had a great idea of adding a layer of live drums on top of the breakbeat from my Germany session."
Vagabon is hitting the road this fall for a raft of shows that include a headline run in North America with support from Nourished By Time, plus European dates with Weyes Blood. Find all of the upcoming dates below.
