Vagabon - Sorry I Haven't Called

Release 2023

The self-titled second album by Laetitia Tamko's Vagabon project marked a shift from the singer/songwriter's earlier guitar-based style to a much more electronic sound, as she mainly wrote music on her laptop while touring. Her life changed considerably with the death of her best friend in 2021. She relocated to a remote village in Northern Germany, with no phone service, and worked on music by herself. Going to raves in dark clubs helped her process her grief, and she continued incorporating more dance music influences into her songs. The album was finished in Los Angeles with co-producer Rostam Batmanglij, and additional production and co-writing by several other friends.
