Every once and a while I will develop an obsession with a new artist. Last summer it was Lily Allen, this summer it is Lykke Li.
I am not sure how I came across her this winter, but after hearing her single Little Bit, I was haunted by her unique voice and fresh blend of music. Of course something this different could only come from another country and that country is Sweden.
Her full album Youth Novels has the awesome taint of Peter, Bjorn and John on it, but is still not available via iTunes thanks Steve Jobs because they do not sell imported music. I know. You can go to the store and buy an import CD, but in the age of digital music, buying songs from overseas is impossible…
Anyway, I’ve included a playlist of her music. Give it a listen and remember who put you on to Lykke Li.
