Lykke Li - Youth Novels


How is it that Sweeden keeps popping out Indie Pop? To tell you the truth I never really payed attention to Sweeden as a music powerhouse. But since Robyn they have been on my radar. Now we have another Lykke Li.

Born in Stolkholm, Sweedem. She grew up with hippie parents who played in Jazz bands.

Her debut has been hyped by such publications such as Rolling Stone, Blender etc... And it seems it sort of deserves it. Her hit "Little Bit" is one of the highlights of the album. But the rest of the album seems like a group of songs just trying to match the quality of her hit. Which is not all bad. "Tonight" is another good song which sounds like a European pop star would have made.

I don't know if I would reccomend this album, but for pop fans they probably will like this album.
(Choice Cuts: "Little Bit", "Tonight" and "Dance, Dance, Dance")

Rating: 67/100 (Its a good album. But not great.)
