JAKARTA – Singer and songwriter, Lukas Graham, announced plans to release his latest studio album, Good Times on August 14 via Virgin Music Group. The album is built with reflection, cultural heritage, and perspective as a foundation.
In his upcoming work, Lukas Graham shows his side in the Celtic and folk music traditions that shaped his childhood in Copenhagen. Pre-save the album can be done today.
To start the momentum, Lukas released a new single titled Second Chance, a song that inspires the spirit and invites listeners to shake. He interprets this as a celebration of the courage to admit mistakes, embrace change, and strive to become a better version of yourself.
Good Times takes Lukas back to his roots, connecting him back to his late father Eugene’s Irish heritage – a Donegal-born music lover who would often invite folk musicians across Scandinavia and introduce Lukas to the music and traditions that formed his initial connection with music.
After years of global success and a life of musical travel, the album sees Lukas return to his roots through a collection of songs that feel deeply personal and unmistakably his own.
The album itself was recorded with a rotating group of musicians in Nashville and New York, many of whom have personal connections to Eugene and the folk music community where Lukas grew up. The musicians include Michael McGoldrick, one of the world’s best uilleann pipe and Irish flute players; bassist Sam Grisman; Tim O’Brien on mandolin and background vocals; Stuart Duncan on violin; and Brian Sutton on guitar – a formation that roots the album in the Celtic, bluegrass, and acoustic traditions where Lukas grew up.
“People my father knew. People who used to sleep on the sofa in my mom and dad’s living room,” explains Lukas. “It was really important for me that we could involve some of these musicians and get that cultural connection.”
Last month, he released the first track from his new project, “To Know a Girl,” a confident, banjo-heavy folk-pop song with a catchy chorus and a strong vocal. Lukas described it as a “short and sweet” song but deliberately made it full of courage, introducing listeners to a new chapter in his musical career while still maintaining Lukas Graham’s undeniable signature.
