Lykke Li

For the past two years or so, Swedish songstress Lykke Li has been a mainstay of every electro music blog around the world. Ever since the release of her debut album, Youth Novels, Li's sweet and sour compositions have been a constant source of inspiration for producers and DJs, with new remixes popping up every second day"¦The album itself is pretty eclectic and features a rather wide range of beats. Produced by Björn Yttling (of Peter Bjorn and John) and Lasse MÃ¥rtén, Youth Novels draws on the more subtle aspects of indie pop and dance music to create a sound that is mostly poppy, with an electronic twist. Lykke Li's quirky personality shines through the fourteen tracks of the album. Definitely a winning debut! - umstrum music
