A few good times in my life
A few weeks ago Swedish singer Lykke Li announced the release of her last album for next May. Li came to my ears 15 years ago with her single I Follow Rivers. It was a dark indie-pop track with a fine combination of pounding drums and her twee voice. The drums are still present but now she integrated Antonio Vivaldi and his 4 Seasons into her sound. The result is another fine indie-pop song. Let's enjoy her new sound as long as she continues to release new music.
Lykke Li is a Swedish singer/songwriter and active since more than ten years. You can describe her sound as a unique blend of indie pop and melancholy with introspective lyrics. Her unmistakable voice and minimalist style makes me sometimes playing her songs. Now she is releasing a song that didn't make it onto her 2014 album and it is another example for another song laced with emotions such as heartache and longing. Not that songs like this are necessary but when she manages to wrap heavyness in atmospheric sounds that are both vulnerable and powerful it is worth to give this a listen.
