Look & Listen: One To Watch Out For!

Filed under: Listen To This

Robyn is not the only exciting thing on the Swedish musical scene these days.

Say hello to Lykke Li, a "pop" artists whose tunes remind us more of Roisin Murphy with a dash of Bjork.

This is not your bubblegum pop!

    27. Michelle says – reply to this


      27

      She is cute.
      Her name is funny though,
      it means 'happy', if you put the
      name toghether and add a 'g' like this:
      Lykkelig. Lykke Li is pronounced like that :P

    28. simon sez says – reply to this


      28

      Perez, you're as pathetically behind the times as the jerk off piece you read in the NYT yesterday.

      what next. you'll praise Jens Lekman.

      give it a rest. you're a gossip blogger, nothing more.

    29. Santino says – reply to this


      29

      Oh Perez. Get with the times.

      I've (along with many others) have been on to Lykke Li for a bit now. I'm seeing her on the 18th with El Perro Del Mar (expext Perez to post about them…now)

      Efff Perez! Stop ruining my indie pop glory and exposing these amazing artists to chumps who don't appreciate the music. Best kept secrets should stay that way!

    44. Ale! says – reply to this


      44

      This doesnt sound like bjork at all… not even a dash as you may say… you dont have a clue of music… stick with the gossip and do recomendations, do not compare!

    45. ManaPonj says – reply to this


      45

      Little Bit is a great song and awesome video too.

    48. Allison says – reply to this


      48

      I kind of feel like you are ripping off other people's discoveries and making seem like they are your own. Afterellen.com just had a vlog and this artist was mentioned. Seems kind of sketchy that the NEXT day, you have something about her. It's not cool to take other people's ideas and recommendations and act as if they are your own.

    49. Elisabeth B N says – reply to this


      49

      And such great energy as well - she is really TINY, you should not believe how much energy she has…sort of Hippie vs. electronica - see her live…kool kool…cooperates with another quite cool Swedish band as well, named El Perro Del mar…check it out! =)

    50. Tes says – reply to this

      UGH, this song plays at forever 21 all day, every day for the past month.

    57. Leanne says – reply to this


      57

      She is fucking brilliant!!!!

    58. Deak says – reply to this


      58

      I've been listening to her for a year.
      Americans know nothing about music. I'm embarrassed to be a young American.
      This is old news. It should have been posted like two years ago.
      And I love how you say "reminds US" like there's a team of people on your side.
      l like you sometimes but you're kind of stupid.
      Anyways, you're right, she's good.

      59

      Even though you are late on this by a few months, thank you for getting her out there! I freaked when her song opened Grey's Anatomy's first Episode back after the strike and then her second vid the next week, Yay!

      We do our own music and we are good at it;)

      Although I can't really understand her lyrics very well, I think she is good!
      I'm over 50 but I love alot of the new music…and have never been stuck back in the 60's 70's or 80's. Whatever is playing currently is where I'm at! : )

      Mr Perez.

      Listen to a man named Lars Winnerback. Even if you don´t understand the words, its candy to your ears… and by the looks of it, you like candy ;)

      no but please, listen to him.
