Last we heard from MØ, she was busy unleashing October’s “Kamikaze”, her third Diplo collaboration following the smash hit “Lean On” and “XXX 88″. Now, some months later, the CoSigned Danish singer has re-emerged bearing a new track called “Final Song”.
While its title may suggest the ending of an era, the tropical-flavored cut is all about forging on through trying times and the importance of harnessing one’s inner power. MØ elaborated in a press release:
“‘Final Song’ is about reconnecting with your inner strength. With your inner glow, passion, spirit animal, whatever – the force that keeps us going and doing what we love. I wrote it with MNEK and Noonie Bao – both of whom I adore – in Los Angeles earlier this year. We all need to feel empowered from within to be the best version of ourself, but it’s not always easy and that’s what inspired me to write these lyrics. When you’re united with your inner glow you can beat the fears and fly towards your dreams.”
Stream it below via BBC Radio 1.
Update — Thursday, June 9th at 3:30 p.m. CT: MØ has shared the music video for “Final Song”. The clip was filmed by director Mister Whitmore out by California’s Trona Pinnacles and Mona Lake. Taking a cue from the track, it sees the Danish singer summoning her inner spirit and strength.
MØ is currently finishing up her sophomore album, the follow-up to 2014’s impressive No Mythologies to Follow.
