Loop Soup

Loop Soup is the sixth studio album by Danish singer and songwriter Oh Land. It was released on 29 September 2023 through Tusk or Tooth Records and the Universal Music Group. The album was supported by three singles prior to its release – "Bleeed", "My Freak", and "Bucket List" – and the promotional single "I'd Rather Sing". It was produced by her husband Adnan Zukanovic and Nick Labajewska "Vasco" Madsen, and features guest collaborations with Broods and Ximena Sariñana.

Background
In 2022, Oh Land released her first entirely Danish-language extended play, Xtra. The next year, she resumed releasing music written in English, remarking that ultimately the songs themselves decide what language she writes in.

Composition
According to the singer, songs on the album were influenced by 1960s and 1970s films, and specifically the German disco group Boney M.. Several of the album's songs were produced by Nick Labajewska Madsen under the name Vasco.

Loop Soup opens with "I'd Rather Sing", a song about what is expected of an artist thrown into the industry. The third single "Bucket List" discusses existentialism and finds Oh Land addressing her lover about his bucket list, if she were to unexpectedly die before him. It is a synth-pop song that contains elements of psychedelic and nu-disco music. "My Freak" is a disco song backed by electric guitar and synth sounds with encouraging lyrics about loving someone for who they are, including their imperfections.

Promotion and singles
"Bleeed" was released as the album's lead single, on 14 April 2023. It was promoted by its first live performance at the Rock in Tivoli concert at Tivoli Gardens in May 2023, followed by an announcement of a Danish tour with dates between October and November of that year. The second single, "My Freak", was released on 23 June 2023 along with details regarding Loop Soup, which was officially announced.

"Bucket List" was released as the following single on 25 August 2023. On the eve of her wedding to producer Adnan Zukanovic, the song was performed live in her backyard in Copenhagen. Additionally, "I'd Rather Sing" was released as a promotional single on 19 September, premiering exclusively for streaming on the music website mxdwn.com.
