Lykke Li
One of the most exciting acts to emerge in 2008, Swedish pop sensation Lykke Li exploded on the scene last year with a bright and addictive mix of electro, soul, and candy-coated pop.
Her debut album 'Youth Novels', released last June, is an innovative breath of fresh air, co-produced by Peter, Bjorn, and John’s Bjorn Yittling. Instrumentally sparse and perfectly arranged, the album sparkles with the idiosyncrasy of Li’s minimal vocals. It has grabbed attention worldwide.
Lykke Li was named one of Rolling Stone's artists to watch for 2008, and was nominated for a 2009 Meteor Award in the best international female category. She has collaborated this year alone with Kanye West, Santagold, and Royksopp to name a few.
"Charming debut from flirtatious Scandinavian pipette" HOTPRESS
"Youth Novels is a twinkle-toed debut that dares to suggest what others can only make tediously plain, and leaves us in the rarely-enjoyed position of actually wanting more" DROWNED IN SOUND
