Ever since I was 13, I’ve been excited about turning 31 because it’s my lucky number backwards, which is why I wanted to surprise you with this now. You’ve all been so caring, supportive and thoughtful on my birthdays and so this time I thought I would give you something! I also know this holiday season will be a lonely one for most of us and if there are any of you out there who turn to music to cope with missing loved ones the way I do, this is for you. There are 15 tracks on the standard edition of evermore, but the deluxe physical edition will include two bonus tracks - “right where you left me” and “it’s time to go” ⌛️ All *digital downloads* of the album will include an exclusive, digital booklet with 16 brand new photos. You can pre-order evermore now here.

Tonight the story continues, as the music video for “willow” drops at midnight eastern. I’m forever grateful to the following creatives who have helped and guided me to be able to direct my own videos: Cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, producer Jil Hardin, 1st AD Joe ‘Oz’ Osbourne, Co-1st AD Ev Salomon, Exec Producer Rebecca Skinner, editor Chancler Haynes, set designers Ethan Tobman and Regina Fernandez and visual effects geniuses Grant Miller and David Lebensfeld. Thank you to our medical inspector who made sure every precaution was taken for our safety. I’ll see you guys in the YouTube premiere page chat before midnight to answer some questions 🧙‍♀️

I’m elated to tell you that my 9th studio album, and folklore’s sister record, will be out tonight at midnight eastern. It’s called evermore. To put it plainly, we just couldn’t stop writing songs. To try and put it more poetically, it feels like we were standing on the edge of the folklorian woods and had a choice: to turn and go back or to travel further into the forest of this music. We chose to wander deeper in. I’ve never done this before. In the past I’ve always treated albums as one-off eras and moved onto planning the next one after an album was released. There was something different with folklore. In making it, I felt less like I was departing and more like I was returning. I loved the escapism I found in these imaginary/not imaginary tales. I loved the ways you welcomed the dreamscapes and tragedies and epic tales of love lost and found into your lives. So I just kept writing them. And I loved creating these songs with Aaron Dessner, Jack Antonoff, WB, and Justin Vernon. We’ve also welcomed some new (and longtime) friends to our musical kitchen table this time around…

not a lot going on at the moment

They thought death was worth it, but I

Have a self to recover, a queen.

Is she dead, is she sleeping?

Where has she been,

With her lion-red body, her wings of glass?

Stings

(Español abajo⬇️) 30. A book by your favourite author: The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz "Diablo! If only I'd known. The beauty! The beauty!" The Dominican American author published this novel in 2007 and I read it as a compulsory reading for uni. I really liked the style of the author and it really really is a great novel, with letters, different narrators, flashbacks and flashforwards, so very rich but not confusing. The ending is what the title suggests Oscar's life doesn't last long , but wow the ending! A curious detail is that it has many footnotes to explain history details about the dictator Trujillo and his regime. It is also very truthful bc it uses both Spanish and English, being the characters bilingual, it is what makes sense. But this novel has also magical elements: there's a curse... P.S. When I bought it, the seller told me it was Antonio Bandera's favourite book 👀 Do you usually read in Spanish? . . ➡️ 30. Libro con un gran desenlace: La maravillosa vida breve de Óscar Wao de Junot Díaz «Diablo! If only I'd known. The beauty! The beauty!» El autor dominicano-estadounidense publicó está novela en 2007 y yo la leí como lectura obligatoria de la uni. Me gustó mucho el estilo del autor y de verdad que es una gran novela, con cartas, distintos narradores, flashbacks y flashforwards, muy rica pero no confusa. El final es lo que el título sugiere, la vida de Oscar no dura mucho, pero ¡qué final! Un detalle curioso es que hay muchas notas a pie de página para explicar detalles históricos sobre el dictador Trujillo y su régimen. También es realista porque se usa español e inglés y siendo los personaje bilingüe, es lo que tiene sentido. Pero esta novela tiene también elementos mágicos: hay una maldición... P.D. Cuando la compré la vendedora me dijo que era el libro favorito de Antonio Banderas 👀 ¿Soléis leer en inglés? . . . #parloteolibros #bookpic #bookish #booklover #thebriefwondrouslifeofoscarwao #junotdíaz #30DaysBookChallenge #bookshelf #favbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CH24fGLF9V0/?igshid=18p12afau3df6
