Yung Lean has officially announced his next move, revealing on Instagram that a new project is slated for release later this year. Titled “Jonatan,” a nod to his birth name Jonatan Aron Leandooer Håstad, the upcoming project is set to drop globally before year’s end.

“Jonatan” will be Yung Lean’s fifth studio album, following his collaborative project “Psykos” with Bladee, released about a year ago. Notably, it will be Lean’s first solo studio album since “Stardust” in 2022. This past year, Lean also made notable appearances on Charli XCX’s “360” remix alongside Robyn and released the solo track “Shadowboxing.”
