Swedish House Mafia release Francis Mercier remix of ‘Lioness’: Listen

Swedish House Mafia have tapped Francis Mercier for a new remix of their latest single, ‘Lioness’, featuring Niki & The Dove. Listen to the edit below.

‘Lioness’, which was released earlier this summer after much anticipation and delay, was initially expected to appear on the follow-up LP to the trio’s 2022 studio debut album, ‘Paradise Again‘. That second studio album has also experienced delays, having originally been planned for release in 2023. However, a recent Instagram post suggests that a big announcement of some sort is coming later this week.

‘Lioness’ is Axwell, Steve Angello, and Sebastian Ingrosso’s first official single release of 2024 as a group. In 2023, they began playing a new track titled ‘Not Yesterday‘ in live sets and released singles ‘Ray Of Solar‘ – with remixes by Tiësto, Anfisa Letyago and Mau P – and ‘See The Light‘, featuring Fridayy.

Swedish House Mafia have had a busy summer touring the festival circuit, including their first group performance at Tomorrowland in 12 years. This past weekend, they wrapped up their six-week residency at Ushuaïa Ibiza, where they were joined by guests like Overmono, Jaguar, Arielle Free and Salvatore Ganacci.

Haitian producer Francis Mercier, meanwhile, has been equally busy this summer, taking his Deep Root Tribe imprint and event brand around the world. Revisit his On Cue mix and interview with DJ Mag’s Megan Venzin here. 

This October, Swedish House Mafia will be joining Will Ferrell onstage at a College For Cancer benefit gig in Chicago.
