FRESH MUSIC #2 - Lykke Li... a Swedish Feist?


Her sound is pleasantly beautiful and full of indie funk. I am expecting great things from her in the coming years. She will be big over seas before she is big in the US (because of our messed up music system) but you will become a fan of Lykke Li the second her sweet voice filters through your brain. My two favorite tracks are "Little Bit" and "I'm Good I'm Gone." Her MySpace is packed loaded with good music and you can buy 4 tracks on iTunes. She's white girl funky like Fionna Apple but this Swedish lover is the next big thing in music.

"Li Lykke Timotej Zachrisson (born March 18, 1986 in Stockholm, Sweden), better known by her stage name Lykke Li, is an indie singer. She was raised by artistic parents (her mother was a photographer, her father is a musician) and lived in Portugal for five years, and spent winters in Nepal and India....She released her first album, 'Youth Novels' on LL Recordings in the Nordic region on 4 February 2008 and it will receive a wider European release this June. The album was produced by Björn Yttling of Peter Bjorn and John and Lasse Mårtén. It will be released in the United States on 6 May 2008. She had some success with the EP "Little Bit" in 2007. Stereogum named her an artist to watch in October 2007 and described her music as a mix of soul, electro and powdered-sugar pop."
