I am beyond excited and thrilled to announce that my dear friend Mapei will come on tour with me. It is insanely symbolic to me as she’s been my idol ever since I saw her the first time when I was 17. She was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen and she dared me to follow my dream…. First stop was her Bushwick apartment and many open mics, bruised hearts, blood, sweat and tears later we will join forces again to tour America. Don’t you dare miss it. -Lykke Li
Mapei will be the main support for Lykke Li, a fellow Stockholm-native and her onetime roommate, on her 14-date tour this fall. Mapei is also pleased to unveil a new remix of her single “Don’t Wait” from Dutch DJ/producer R3HAB. He joins Chance The Rapper, Frankie Knuckles, Kingdom and more in remixing the track, which has topped Hype Machine on eight separate occasions, spent a month-long stint on Spotify’s viral chart and amassed over 10 million combined streams. Hey Hey, Mapei’s debut album, is out September 23 on Downtown Records.
