Yung Lean – Forever Yung

Yung Lean, Sweden’s biggest musical export, is in town this weekend, previewing upcoming projects with “Forever Yung”. The upcoming fifth album from the Stockholm native who hails from Södermalm will be preceded by this track as its lead single. It’s been since 2022’s Stardust that he has released a solo record, which included collaborations with FKA twigs, Skrillex, Bladee, and others. Lean’s latest body of work is his collaboration with Bladee, titled Psykos, released in 2024. The 28-year-old rapper, singer, songwriter and producer showcases his style on “Forever Yung,” blending elements of glam-rock and Scandipop. The song is centered around accepting both your positive and negative qualities regardless of the situation. Self-love is crucial for living a life that is enjoyable and exciting, which is the underlying message he is trying to convey to the listener.

It also explores the idea of persevering through life’s challenges and making sacrifices in order to stay alive. In addition, certain aspects of love present difficulties in both its pursuit and long-term sustenance. Yung Lean delivers the chorus with the lines “Love is hard to find, I know-know / Sometimes life is just a joke.” He delivers his vocals in a very casual and laid-back style. The expression conveys a sense of detachment, implying that he has personally endured these challenges. This tone conveys the message more effectively. “Forever Yung” is undoubtedly a track that is both sonically and thematically intriguing. The upcoming release of Jonatan on May 2 has certainly piqued our interest as to what Lean will bring to the table.
