Swedish collective Sunnan continue their cinematic ascent with the release of new single 'I Need You', the latest glimpse into their forthcoming sophomore album Spaghetti Soul, arriving October 9. Blurring the lines between northern soul, neo-psychedelia and orchestral rock, the track finds the band operating at their most emotionally direct yet. Built around hypnotic rhythms, sweeping arrangements and a growing sense of urgency, 'I Need You' explores self-reflection, vulnerability and the difficult process of confronting your own truths.

The single further expands Sunnan's self-described "cinematic soul" universe, a sound that draws equally from the melodic melancholy of Brian Wilson, the experimental textures of late-period Beatles records and the widescreen grandeur of Ennio Morricone. It's a rich and immersive approach that has steadily earned the band a growing international following.

Speaking about the track, Sunnan explain: "'I Need You' is a good hard look in the mirror. Reach into the spiritual dimension through your own reflection. In the tradition of northern soul desperation this song is a wake up call, and a call for honesty in the face of yourself."

'I Need You' serves as another compelling preview of Spaghetti Soul, a record set to push the band's ambitious vision even further. Where their debut album Cinema introduced listeners to Sunnan's distinctive blend of vintage soul, psychedelia and cinematic songwriting, its successor promises a broader, more immersive and emotionally resonant experience.

The release follows a run of acclaimed singles including 'My Love For You', 'Wild Horses' and a collaboration with Swedish icon Titiyo, helping establish Sunnan as one of Scandinavia's most distinctive emerging voices. With Swedish Grammy nominations, sold-out shows across the Nordics and Europe, and growing support across streaming platforms, the band's momentum shows little sign of slowing.

'I Need You' is out now. Spaghetti Soul follows on October 9.
