Stars, which drops April 22, was recorded in the singer’s studio in Gothenburg, Sweden and differs from her previous release.
Assbring explained that she “tried to let the recording process be as free and organic as possible. Many takes were first ones.
“In contrast to my first album, which generally was guitar oriented, I mostly play the piano or organ on this one.”
The singer also handled all the recording, producing and mixing duties herself.
The album’s first single, “Glory to the World,” is available now from iTunes.
