Sweating under the strobes at Midnight Lovers in LA, dancing to the bass beneath the K Bridge in Greenpoint, finding new faces at Venue MOT in London – these are the dark, enveloping spaces giving life to Arlo Parks’ powerful third album, Ambiguous Desire. “I fell in love with nocturnal spaces over the past two years of writing this album,” Parks says. “These were places where I could be whoever I wanted to be on that night, from staying on the fringes to throwing myself into it completely and escaping for hours on the dancefloor. It was so playful, being able to lose yourself and then reemerge into the world. Every time I came out into the daylight, I felt so inspired.” The result is 12 tracks of the British singer-songwriter’s most vulnerable, self-affirming and euphoric music to date. From the pirate radio breakbeats of “Get Go” to the shimmering chords of “Beams” and the soulful Sampha-collaboration “Senses,” Ambiguous Desire sees the 25-year-old Parks at her most confident and experimental. Two-time Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and Mercury Prize winner Arlo Parks has announced a headline show at Dublin’s Ambassador Theatre on Saturday, 17th October 2026.
