Loreen’s ‘Coming Close’ Arrives Before Wildfire, and Yes, the Drama Is Intact

Some artists simply do not know how to do “small,” and yup, Loreen is very much one of ’em.

Her new single, ‘Coming Close‘, is out now ahead of her new album Wildfire, which lands on 27 March 2026, and it sounds exactly like something built for people who enjoy feeling a bit emotionally steamrolled. Big voice, big feeling, big sky energy.

‘Coming Close’ leans into Loreen’s more transcendent side

If ‘Wildfire’ came in swinging with that darker pulse, ‘Coming Close’ feels like the moment where the lights flicker back on, and everything suddenly makes a weird kind of sense.

According to the release, the track was written with Andrew Jackson, Joe Housley, and Charlie Martin, and it pushes into a more expansive, spiritual lane. The whole thing is built around the idea of clarity surfacing through distortion, with that repeated line, “I feel you coming close,” acting like a heartbeat.

Her vocals on this one are all stretch and release, floating over a pulsing EDM beat that sounds built for both headphones and the kind of dramatic solo walk where you convince yourself you are in a music video. A healthy level of main-character delusion, basically.

“Even in a world that can feel distorted, there is something true rising underneath it all.” — Loreen

Wildfire has been a long time coming

The bigger story here is the album itself. Wildfire has reportedly been in the making for a decade.

The album follows a massive stretch of career-defining releases, including ‘Tattoo’, which topped charts in more than ten countries, along with ‘Is It Love’, ‘Wildfire’, and ‘Feels Like Heaven’, the latter co-written by Sia.

It is also her first album in nine years, which gives this release a bit more gravity than your average Friday drop.

The Tracklist

Here is the full Wildfire tracklist as shared in the announcement:

1. ‘Where Do We Go From Here’
2. ‘Feels Like Heaven’
3. ‘Weapons’
4. ‘Is It Love’
5. ‘Cant Pull Me Down’
6. ‘Melt’
7. ‘Wildfire’
8. ‘Coming Close’
9. ‘Set Me Free’
10. ‘Tattoo’
11. ‘Lose That Light’ ft. 6LACK
12. ‘Kiss the Sky’
13. ‘True Love’

There is a nice balance here between the already-known heavy hitters and a bunch of titles that sound like they are either going to end us emotionally or fix us spiritually. Possibly both. Loreen does enjoy a two-for-one.

The Wildfire tour is on sale now, but Australia is not on the list

Loreen has also announced the Wildfire Tour, which currently spans Ireland, the UK, Germany, Belgium, France, Poland, and the Netherlands.

The run kicks off at Dublin’s National Stadium on 22 September 2026 and wraps at Amsterdam’s Paradiso on 6 October 2026.

That is the good news for Europe. The less-fun news for local fans is that no Australian dates have been announced at this stage. Unfortunately, the tour poster is not collaborating with us yet.
