Li revealed that in addition to LIV, she has also been working on a new solo album. The follow-up to 2014’s excellent I Never Learn has been headed in a more “pop” direction, she said, explaining: “I feel like I’m always doing opposite things. LIV was very analogue and ’70s, and now I’m accidentally doing pop, in a very non-shameful way.”
She went on: “I kind of started out pop by accident, and everyone was like, ‘Oh, you’re pop,’ and I was like, ‘No, I'm not! I'm indie!’ I got really offended. And then I had to make— [I Never Learn] is like the least pop album ever. Then now I'm getting back to it and feeling like, Cyndi Lauper wrote some fucking amazing songs. That’s nothing to be ashamed of.”
