Norwegian singer Sondre Lerche has shared a hypnotic new track "I'm Always Watching You Too," a more haunting take on the song "I'm Always Watching You," which he released back in October.

According to the New York-based artist, the reworked track was inspired by a dream he had about the song. "In the dream the song was slower, anchored by a sluggish dub-groove, and a narrative that was turning on me: I was being watched," he said, noting how the original tells a tale of voyeurism. "It proved impossible to bridge the dream with the more natural, realistic version that became the original take on the song. But I couldn’t let go of the dream, and the hazy recording I made on my phone in the middle of that night became my guide for a different take on the same dream."

The song comes as Lerche has been teasing a new album, likely called Pleasure, for early next year. He has a North American tour starting in April.
