Vagabon Sorry I Haven'T Called LP Vinyl

Vinyl LP pressing. Sorry I Haven't Called is the 2023 album from Vagabon, the moniker of Lµtitia Tamko. The album, co-produced by Tamko and Rostam (Vampire Weekend, Haim, Clairo), finds Tamko reinventing herself once again and features the most playful and adventurous music of her career. "I didn't feel like being introspective," says Laetitia Tamko of her new album Sorry I Haven't Called. "I just wanted to have fun." Following her intimate 2017 debut Infinite Worlds, the New York artist favored expansive and evocative electronic textures in her breakthrough 2019 self-titled follow-up. But her latest LP feels like a wholly new era for Tamko, one that's transformational and uncompromising. Across 12 vibrant tracks she wrote and produced primarily in Germany, she channels dance music and effervescent pop through her own confident sensibilities. These conservational songs are alive and unselfconscious, a document of an artist fully embracing her vision and reclaiming her joy. Tamko's lyrics on Sorry I Haven't Called are uniformly playful and inviting. The first words she sings on the album are, "Can I talk my shit? / I got way too high for this." It's a statement of purpose for the rest of the album that this is an unapologetic artist. "This whole record is how I talk to my friends and how to talk to my lovers," says Tamko. "I think honesty and conversational songwriting can become poetry. There's beauty in plainly speaking without metaphors and without flowery imagery."
