Arlo Parks Releases New Song “Heaven”
Los Angeles-based British singer-songwriter Arlo Parks released a new song “Heaven” on February 2, 2026.
The song is the second single off of her upcoming third studio album “Ambiguous Desire”, following her January release “2SIDED”.
The album is set to be released on April 3, 2026 via Transgressive Records.
Arlo Parks wrote the song inspired by London-based DJ Jamie xx's performance. Produced by Baird.
The accompanying music video was directed by Rob Thorogood.
Arlo Parks said of the song, “Heaven is about euphoria, community and staying present. Being in a room full of strangers sweating, connecting, losing and finding themselves is a kind of magic that's beyond language. This song was my attempt at capturing that feeling.”- Arlo Parks told Zane Lowe of Apple Music about the song, “That's something that was really inspiring about, like, some of the xx shows, where Jamie's on the CDJ. It's like, that's something I really want to do. And also just DJing more in general. Kind of choosing, maybe some select cities to throw parties out afterwards. I want to embody it. I think it's important for people to understand that I'm not using this genre as like a it's not like a costume that I'm putting on, like, I've been living this. And I think that's why the tasting essential as well, and bringing in some of the, like, more niche references. And some of the performances that I've kind of grew up watching.”

The new album comprises 12 tracks, which Arlo Parks recorded the album with producer Baird in New York, featuring a guest appearance from Sampha.
Arlo Parks said of the album, “I danced more than ever as I made this record, I made more friends than ever too, found myself in the weird underbelly of New York juke nights, unleashed, laughed and laughed and laughed. This record has desire at its center. Desire is a life force, it's a wanting, a yearning, a momentum - we are all alive because there is something or someone we want - desire is an engine. But it is also mysterious, tangled, random, enlightening and HUMAN.”
