Oh Land Shares “My Freak”

Danish sensation Oh Land (Nanna Øland Fabricius) returns with the announcement of her new album, Loop Soup. Set for release on September 29 via Oh Land’s own imprint Tusk or Tooth, the album is a determined return to genre-bending pop as Nanna creates her own sonic universe, navigating her space in today’s society.

Alongside the news, Oh Land shared a fresh single from the project with the disco-infectious “My Freak,” an ode to the deep love you might find with someone just as weird as yourself. Produced by Vasco (Terror Jr, MØ), the track bounds with a luscious melody and a slick rhythm, accompanied by Oh Land’s silky vocals. Intergalactic in nature, “My Freak” is a celebration to accept a lover as they are, oddities and all included. ‘My Freak’ is basically questioning the definition of ‘normal,’” Nanna says. “With all the people I love in my life, what I love about them the most is in their deviations from normal. The quirks and edges. ‘My Freak’ is a love song about finding my own logic and natural love with someone. That deep connection that only you understand.”

On her upcoming album Loop Soup, Oh Land forges a world that seems like it was created in a galaxy far, far away. The album playfully incorporates unconventional song structures, ethereal vocals, and grandiose, cinematic soundscapes, combined with poetic lyricism that delve into the struggle of being a human…when you really are an alien. Inspired by 60’s and 70’s sci-fi movies like Barbarella and Jodorowsky’s Holy Mountain, as well as disco aesthetics like Boney M., the upbeat album urges listeners to dance and express themselves. Nanna explains, “A lot of these songs are targeting issues in society and the struggle of finding my space within it. Conflicts in myself made into songs. The older I get the more I question the structure of the world that I’m living in. This album is a pathfinder or an emotional compass of my own space venture. Weaving in and out of memories, future dreams and having to deal with the present.”

Following a back injury that destroyed her ballet career, Oh Land wrote and produced her first album Fauna in 2008. Since then, Oh Land has thrived in her musical journey, releasing four studio albums and touring the world, both headlining and opening for such acts as Katy Perry and Sia. Her live performances are known for their mesmerizing energy, combining her music with visually stunning stage designs and choreography. Oh Land has also worked as a songwriter with artists like Pharrell, Sia, John Legend, and beyond. Her self-titled album Oh Land (2011), showcases a unique blend of electronic pop, folk, and experimental sounds, and received critical acclaim, introducing Oh Land to a worldwide audience. Over the years, Oh Land’s albums have explored new, sonic territories. Wish Bone (2013), Earth Sick (2014), and Family Tree (2019) have further solidified her reputation as a versatile and captivating musician.
