The legendary artistic duo iamamiwhoami announces a new album and debuts a music video for their first single 'don't wait for me.'
After an eight year hiatus, the duo (Jonna Lee and Claes Björklund), invite you into a personal world of its own creation with the new album Be Here Soon, out June 3rd.
“We felt ready to get back into our immense creative process that comes with our work and wanted to make something that would be true to where we are in our lives and careers now,” explains the project's creator and front woman ionnalee (Jonna Lee). “Claes had just become a dad, and I'm carrying a child now. That brought us to a pretty raw state.“

Working with many of the same magicians that brought one of the first viral audio-visual sensations over ten years ago, the anticipation is building for fans. The cryptology and depth of the project is far too extensive for this article but you can read about it on the fandom page.
The coming 10-track album will be released with a 10-episode video series that "traces the path of the new life growing inside of Lee and pushes her out on a journey facing the expectations of society and the music industry as a female artist in the spellbinding surroundings of her native Sweden."
