"Bittersweet" arrived on June 26, 2020, ahead of Lianne La Havas, the English singer's self-titled third album, which followed on July 17 after a five-year gap. She wrote the record in the wake of a break-up and shaped it around nature's cycle of flourishing, fading away and returning stronger, recording it between October and December 2019 in London, Bath and New York.
She produced this one with Aqualung and Beni Giles, and the writing credit is a crowded one: La Havas and Aqualung share it with Isaac Hayes, DiFosco T. Ervin and Rudy Love. The album around it is a song cycle that follows a relationship from first flush to collapse, neo soul laced with jazz and folk, and critics greeted it with rave reviews.
