MØ releases "Plæygirl"

Today, acclaimed Danish artist MØ celebrates a new era with the release of her fourth studio album ‘Plæygirl’; a 12-track sonic exploration of her journey from youthful playful abandon to introspective self-discovery. She has also shared a visualiser for focus track ‘Heartbreak’.

10-years into her impressive career, new album ‘Plæygirl’ marks both a reinvention and a reintroduction and is a deeply personal and authentic reflection on her evolution as both a person and an artist. A careful balance between light and darkness, it is a record that celebrates growth, change and hope.

Written over the course of 2022-2024 between her native Copenhagen and Los Angeles with renowned producer Nick Sylvester (LCD Soundsystem, Channel Tres, The Dare) and longtime collaborator Ronni Vindhal, the 12-track collection reflects her most authentic and liberated self, showcasing her signature offbeat sound and pushing it into fresh, thrilling territory that is unapologetically, powerfully MØ. She says, “I just wanted to make music that was true to me – music that feels free. I feel like I’m standing in front of a new era”.

From the previously released singles ‘Who Said’, ‘SWEET’ feat. Biig Piig, ‘Keep Moving’ and ‘Lose Yourself’ to the striking, dancefloor-dominating focus track ‘Heartbreak’, MØ adds rich yet jagged new textures to her time-tested sonic approach, creating an atmosphere of total liberation.

MØ says, “’Plæygirl’ is a call to reclaim joy and spontaneity amid life’s messiness. To celebrate imperfection, shed old fears, and revel in contradiction - to recalibrate to your fullest, truest self. Accepting the co-existence of light and dark, rebellion and release - without one or the other, it isn’t real life. To me at least. So many friends helped shape this album, and the process of making it felt really organic and focused in a way which I have always dreamed about.”

MØ has been taking her brand-new ‘Plæygirl’ live show on the road over the past few months, with sold-out shows in the US and Europe following a launch night in London in January. The ‘dance party’ has seen MØ capture the hedonistic pleasures of early-2010s club culture with a Nordic twist. As MØ says, it’s “a little club, a little punk, a little chaos, and a whole lot of new songs”. New dates will be announced soon.

2024 marked the 10th anniversary of MØ’s acclaimed debut album, ‘No Mythologies to Follow’. To celebrate, she released a Deluxe Edition and performed sold-out residencies at London’s XOYO and Copenhagen’s iconic Vega. In 2022, she released her third studio album ‘Motordrome’, which followed her previous 2018 album ‘Forever Neverland’. Today signals the beginning of her new chapter - 2025 is the year of ‘Plæygirl’.
