Yung Lean shares “Forever Yung,” the new single and video is the Swedish artist’s first new music shared since he first hinted at a new album. Today, Yung Lean announces that his new album Jonatan will arrive on May 2nd via his World Affairs label. “Forever Yung” was produced by Rami Dawod (Frank Ocean, Camilla Cabello, Dua Lipa) and arrives with a music video directed by Aidan Zamiri (Billie Eilish, Charli xcx) featuring some of his day 1 fans, the original Sad Boys Sherman and Gud, and his immediate family.

Whether via Yung Lean, JonatanLeandoer96, Död Mark, or through visual art and acting, Jonatan Leandoer Håstad has consistently reinvented himself and pushed the boundaries of self-expression throughout his decade-plus career. At only 28 years old, Yung Lean has lived many lives already – a graffiti kid, factory worker, a trailblazer of SoundCloud rap, and style icon that ignited the global Sad Boys/Girls movement, Lean evolved into a painter, a singer-songwriter, the frontman of a punk band, while also fighting battles with loss, substance abuse, and mental disorders.
