Stranger is the latest chapter in the forever unpredictable saga of Swedish innovator Yung Lean. Set for release on November 10 via Swedish label YEAR0001Stranger further charts Yung Lean’s evolution from polarising viral sensation to pioneering mainstay in modern hip-hop and electronic music.
 
Having unveiled the hypnotic “Red Bottom Sky” earlier this month, Yung Lean is now sharing the album’s first official single “Hunting My Own Skin”. Marrying slick, sparse beats with Yung Lean’s patented flow and introspection, “Hunting My Own Skin” is a gripping and superb offering from the talented producer.

Stranger is a perfectly apt title for Yung Lean, who at just 17 years old was thrust into the limelight along with friends and collaborators GUD and Yung Sherman, through their early tracks and self made YouTube videos. A misfit from Stockholm who overnight became a worldwide phenomenon, Yung Lean has outgrown his post-internet novelty beginnings to become a D.I.Y icon with an extensive, organic influence over modern culture.

With a mere four years since debut single “Ginseng Strip 2002” saw the light of day, audiences have watched Lean set off on an open-minded exploration of the past, present and future of pop culture. Having encountered first hand the triumphs and tragedies of rockstar hyperbole, Lean has emerged with a full grasp of his own reality; where early internet aesthetics, late 90’s southern rap and a punk mindset all fuse perfectly, setting off a cultural ripple effect that can be traced directly back to his influence.

Still at the ripe age of 21, the past year was huge for Yung Lean; besides kicking off with the independently released, eclectic album Warlord and embarking on a sold out world tour, which included headline shows in SydneyMelbourne and Brisbane and slots at Listen Out Festival nationwide, Beyond The Valley and Perth’s Origins, it also saw him featured on Frank Ocean’s Blonde, star in Calvin Klein’s #mycalvins campaign, launch his own Sadboys Gear brand, co-design a sneaker for Eytys and drop a full length punk album together with GUD as Död Mark – to name a few highlights.
 
Yung Lean will celebrate the release of Stranger with a UK tour, while we sit tight and anticipate his return to Australian shores. In the meantime, we can indulge in “Hunting My Own Skin” and gear up for his forthcoming Stranger album this November.
