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!

fucking awful.
FIRSTTT
LOVE YOU PEREZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
i
Yesssssssssss, finally Perez!!
I should be your musical advisor. I've been gushing over her for months!
You forgot the key word in this article, fatass Perez:
===
ADVERTISEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
===
You asshole.
ugh. perez. you are so painfully behind.
don't associate talented musicians with your douchebaggery.
Ha. . i'm listening to her cd right now! I love lykke li!
Check out Miss Li,also from Sweden. She's on myspace. V good music
this SUPRISED the hell out of me to see this bc I'm listening to her right now as I brought this site up! Listened to her for quite some time now too
GARBAGE!!!!
Oh yea, check out the acoustic version on youtube with Robyn and a bunch of other Swedish musicians! so good
If I remember correctly, Robyn and Lykke Li have collaborated on a song as well, but i don't remember the name. sorry!
that's a creepy still image and the drummer's butt scares me.

Re: hey – shut the fuck up and go listen to hard candy
crank dat soulja boy
why can't you do this for the veronicas?
their new album came out on iTunes today.
Wow, behind the times Perez?
Been popular for a while now…
ugghhhh!
this will only air on LOGO … mainstream USA doesn't care about garbage like this!
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
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.
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)
Hey perez!
i sent you a e-mail like a month ago with a video from this girl (lykke li)!!!
its nice to know u liked it
that's an awesome sexy song, they play it on the radio all the time here in Ireland!!
Jeez, you trying to make my migraine worse???? This sucks.
This song was featured in a recent Grey's Anatomy episode…
stop it, perez! stick to your hollywood gossips! do not desecrate swedish music! don't you dare touch jens lekman or the radio department or the knife or anna ternheim!
U american ppl cant undertand what real music is, its so sad!
U go perez.. this is some real stuff!
That's hot!!!!
Heellooo from sweden lykke li is fab, but perez im telling u check out maia hirasawa and sophia somajo… and then u will have the best that we have to offer
Gracias Perezitoooo!
I'm probably the one of a lot of persons who sent you a link to Lykke Li.
THICK accent - It's English, but I only understood every 3rd or 4th word…
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!
What the hell is up with her face?
wow she's amazing!
HER SINGLE LITTLE BIT IS THE BEST SONG OF 2008. I DONT SHES GONNA BE AS BIG AS ROBYN (EVEN THOUGH SHE DOES DESERVE IT)!!!!!!!!!!!!
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!
why not post the live video that has Robyn in it? It's much better =)
she looks like voldemort…
Little Bit is a great song and awesome video too.
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.
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! =)
UGH, this song plays at forever 21 all day, every day for the past month.
AWWW, I LOVE HER!!!!
I love the vid for Little Bit!!!!!
She's such a breath of fresh air!!!!!
Thanks Perez, you've stumbled across another gem!!
that is amazingly boring
LOVED IT!!
HAHA perez I got my BLENDER magazine yesterday too and on page 7 they mention Lykke Li. Why do you pretend you are on the cusp of what is hip??? ahahahhahaahahhhaahahah
I bet you cant even pronounce her name you fat fuck. You were at SxSW and you are just now talking about her?
She is fucking brilliant!!!!
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.
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!
Re: Deak –
you are a moron too.
she started recording a year ago and wasn't even "out" 2 years ago.
Another hot Scandinavian check out Michael Lington
Okay, maybe it's just me but than almost subliminal head nod think in a treble click… very very miyazaki in 'princess mononoke'… anyone else get that?
Re: Mina –
so true
Yeah saw this in this past week's Entertainment Weekly magazine….starting to get sick of seeing things on your website that I've already seen elsewhere.
wooow i love it!! this is GOOD pop music for a change and an artsy-fartsy vid to complete it
im from sweden.
We are brought up to be independent strong women in sweden.
We dont think its cool to walk around and do nothing and just be pretty.
it seems to be alright in the states;)
We dont wanna be no britney either.
We do our own music and we are good at it;)
We are strong and were are proud of it!
I just want to know how she got all those old people to do all that strange stuff in the video!! It was truely bizarre..and awesome! Neat trick photography!
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! : )
I Love This! Heard it first at perezhilton.com and now I can't stop listening to it
thank you
lykke li she is so aFRESH….she has another video with i´, goog , i´m gone there robyn is feutering GO LYKKE GO LYKKE
Perez …everyones been arse lykke li for like the last 6 months! tell us something we don't know!
Boring! she is the same as Robyn who is overrated.
This is llllaaaate. Why don't you keep up to date and post about NEW artists like DILLON, THE COCK'NBULL KID, LADYHAWKE, NNEKA………. and many many more amazing artists that would really benefit from you and your site ! !
the version of this with robyn in is amazingggg
Perez, have you heard "My cool" by Adam Tensta? thats the best song from Sweden this spring. you have to listen to it, its greeeeat!
hi asshole perez. another great swedish artist is juvelen, check out the song "they don't love you". he is eyecandy aswell.
yeah, she's pretty great. known her for a while though. love the song and video. it's ace.
I like Robyn way more.
Hey Perez! You should check out her and Robyn sing a duet. It´s on youtube and it´s soo good.
that video scared the shit out of me! but i loved it
OLD OLD OLD OLD! I'm going to se her and robyn this summer, suck on that one.
hey there Perez!
i have to say(sorry)but, i don't think she sounds like Björk..i'm from Iceland and a big fan of Björk..but you said a dash so I forgive you hehehe;)
you are my favorite though!!!
sweden is where its at.
not only is lykke li fantastic in general., the girl KILLS it live.
although, she's been bomb for a while now, at least she's getting the recognition now.
-c
OH WOOOOOOOOOW, DING-DING-DING! you are like 5000 years behind everyone, and still acting like you've "DISCOVERED" someone. jeez.
love it!love it!
