Another year, another Valentine’s Day—Ljungsberg returns with Do I Care, a reimagining of her cult album I Do Care (ORTH001). Released exactly one year later, this album doesn’t just revisit its predecessor; it reflects on its emotional and structural foundations while questioning the role of music as an act of care in an uncertain world.
Originally conceived as a way to adapt I Do Care for live performance, the project quickly evolved into a deeper exploration: can a finished work remain open to transformation? Do I Care stretches and blurs the edges between flux, continuity, and reinvention—not a sequel, nor a departure, but a counterpoint embracing process and fluidity.
Ljungsberg’s background in Musique Concrète and electro-acoustic techniques remains central as she reshapes and manipulates her own pre-recorded songs. Fragmented loops weave through the melodies and textures of I Do Care, while her ethereal voice lingers—both grounding and re-evoking her intimate sonic world.
More than a reinterpretation, Do I Care signals a shift—introducing doubt into the emotional and creative process. It is a meditation on transformation, where care and uncertainty coexist, and music remains in a state of becoming.
