Arlo Parks returns with her third album Ambiguous Desire, due April 3rd via Transgressive Records, announced on Tuesday, 13th of January at 18:30 GMT.

The announcement comes with the first single, ‘2SIDED’, which premieres as BBC Radio 1 Hottest Record. The track offers the first glimpse into the album’s world — a tender hope that a new lover feels as intensely as you do — carried by thick, humming synths and skittering drum machines. The song comes alongside a Molly Burdett-directed music video – a film about connection through movement, emotion and rhythm.

Twice Grammy-nominated, Mercury Prize and BRIT Award-winning artist Arlo Parks announces her new album, Ambiguous Desire, due April 3rd via Transgressive Records.

Ambiguous Desire is Parks at her most confident and experimental, supplanting live band sessions for modular synths, ableton plugins and samplers that channel the frenetic, vibrant spaces she was immersed in, all while spotlighting the acclaimed poetry and lyricism she’s beloved for.

Reflecting on the making of the record, Parks shares, “I danced more than ever as I made this record, I made more friends than ever too, found myself in the weird underbelly of New York juke nights, unleashed, laughed and laughed and laughed. This record has desire at its centre. Desire is a life force, it’s a wanting, a yearning, a momentum – we are all alive because there is something or someone we want – desire is an engine. But it is also mysterious, tangled, random, enlightening and HUMAN.”

Parks crafted the album with producer Baird (Brockhampton, Kevin Abstract). Their process unfolded between NYC’s vibrant, community-rooted nightlife and long, introspective days spent in Baird’s downtown loft. The result is Parks’ most vulnerable, self-affirming, and euphoric work to date.
