Arlo Parks Announces 'Ambiguous Desire,' a Dance-Tilted Third Album Out April 3

Baird leads production with a Sampha feature under a UK club-leaning aesthetic.

Overview

  • The 12-track set arrives via Transgressive, led by the bass-heavy single "2SIDED" with a Molly Burdett-directed video.
  • Much of the record was built with Baird in Ableton, drawing on Underworld, Massive Attack and Burial with 100–120 BPM rhythms.
  • Paul Epworth produced three songs—"Get Go," "Nightswimming" and "What if I Say It?"—and Sampha appears on the duet "Senses."
  • Parks describes lyrics that revisit identity and mental health while exploring deep love and cohabitation.
  • She plans a live return later in 2026 after pausing touring since fall 2024.
