Swedish rapper Yung Lean has officially announced his fifth studio album, Jonatan, set to drop in spring 2025. Named after his birth name, Jonatan Aron Leandoer Håstad, the album signals a return to solo music after his 2023 release Stardust and his 2024 collaborative album Psykos with Bladee.
Yung Lean broke the news on January 21 via Instagram, sharing a glimpse of the cover art, which was directed by fellow Drain Gang member Ecco2k. The artwork features a striking portrait of Lean and teases the album’s visual direction.
In his caption, Lean kept it short and straightforward, writing, “Jonatan the album. This spring. Art dir: @aloegarten.” He also revealed plans for a Stockholm concert on March 1 at Avicii Arena, giving fans the chance to experience his music live ahead of the album release.
Jonatan follows a string of recent projects that showcase Lean’s versatility. In 2023, he released Sugar World under his lo-fi alias jonatan leandoer96 and collaborated with Charli XCX and Robyn on a remix of “360.” Earlier in 2024, Lean dropped the single “Shadowboxing,” further fueling anticipation for his next move.
With its spring 2025 release, Jonatan promises to be a defining moment in Yung Lean’s career. Fans eager to catch a live preview can grab tickets for the Stockholm show at Avicii Arena, where the rapper will likely perform some of his latest material.
