L\\xe6titia Tamko recently announced her third full-length as Vagabon, titled Sorry I Haven\\u2019t Called. The record sees the Cameroonian-American artist reinvent herself for her most exuberant and bold record yet. While her prior albums, 2017\\u2019s Infinite Worlds and her 2019 self-titled saw Vagabon pointed inwards for introspective indie rock, Sorry I Haven\\u2019t Called looks outwards, channeling dance music and effervescent pop.

This new chapter is on full display with the album\\u2019s lead single \\u201cCan I Talk My Shit?\\u201d Released just in time to become a summer anthem mainstay, the bouncy track is full of sunshine with playful lyricism. \\u201cCan I talk my shit?\\u201d Tamko asks before admitting, \\u201cI got way too high for this.\\u201d

\\u201cI didn\'t feel like being introspective,\\u201d says Tamko of Sorry I Haven\\u2019t Called. \\u201cI just wanted to have fun. This record feels like what I\'ve been working towards. When I think of this album, I think of playfulness. It\'s completely euphoric. It\'s because things were dark that this record is so full of life and energy. It\\u2019s a reaction to what I was experiencing at the time, not a document of it.\\u201d

Vagabon is going on tour this fall, with a date in Seattle on December 8th at Madame Lou\\u2019s *Watch the Zac Dov Wiesel-directed video for \\u201cCan I Talk My Shit?" and read the full post at KEXP.org.
