Connecticut art popper Caroline Polachek has announced the new album, Desire, I Want To Turn Into You, due for release on Tuesday, 14th February 2023 (Valentine’s Day).

Caroline Polachek – ‘Welcome To My Island’
Polachek has had a busy past few years. She has built an extensive catalogue of collaboration and co-writing, including work with Charli XCX, Christine and the Queens, Beyoncé, Flume and Oneohtrix Point Never. She opened for Dua Lipa on the North American leg of the British/Albanian artist’s Future Nostalgia tour and performed at Glastonbury, Coachella, Lollapalooza and Primavera.
Polachek is one of a growing slew of artists whose rise to prominance has been been buoyed by TikTok virality. Her 2019 single ‘So Hot You’re Hurting My Feelings’ blew up on the platform, getting 175m streams worldwide and trending as a dance.
Polachek’s success is not just commercial, with her work also being critically lauded. ‘Bunny is a Rider’, the first single from her upcoming new album, was celebrated by Pitchfork as the best song of 2021.
Desire, I Want To Turn Into You is out on 14th February 2023. Pre-save it here.
