As the lights of Coachella’s fabled Sahara stage bathed fans, Steve Angello unleashed the enduring spirit of Swedish House Mafia during an epic closing set.
Angello took us on a journey in Indio over the weekend, where his set culminated in the euphoric reveal of a long-awaited Swedish House Mafia’s song, tentatively titled “Lioness.”
The unreleased track, destined to dominate the festival circuit just as their 2023 anthem “Ray of Solar” did, reverberated through the crowd with its majestic choir chants, setting a surreal scene. The song then plunged into a deep and visceral house rhythm, buoyed by an uplifting, anthemic lead synth that lifted spirits sky-high.
The high-octane moment was met with an overwhelming response as fans danced under the spell of Angello’s masterful crescendo. As the crowd dispersed into the night, the echoes of “Lioness” promised that the magic of the prolific Swedish House Mafia remains as captivating and powerful as ever.
The timing is almost poetic, its reveal occurring nearly two years to the day since Swedish House Mafia’s acclaimed debut album, Paradise Again. The anniversary underscores the the relentless evolution of the trio’s sound—a saga that will no doubt continue to unfold and excite in 2024 and beyond as the influential trio readies another album.
