How to describe Lykke Li...? First, Her full name is Lykke Li Zachrisson. She's 25 years old; Swedish, though lived in Portugal, Lisbon, Morocco, Nepal and India for parts of her youth; and she comes from an artistic family (Mom's a photographer and Dad's a musician). I believe she now lives in New York.This, her second full length album, is the follow up to 2008's Youth Novels.
On this album, she has a sound founded in '60s girl groups, updated for the 21st century. You can definitely hear hints of Peter, Bjorn and John, which makes some sense, since their producer helped her with several of the cuts.
Overall, I really like the album, though not as much as the critics. Check out her Get Some video on YouTube by clicking here (but not while the kids are around.) For something a little more tame, try Rich Kid Blues.
