Lykke Li – MTV Unplugged

Quick update on Lykke Li.
MTV USA have release her Unplugged session for the rest of the world to see.
Great stuff. Looks like she is not back in the UK until November, which is a shame…

Lykke Li – Wounded Rhymes

Lykke Li - Wounded Rhymes

I would class this as a slow burner…
Failing instantly in love with her 2008 debut, here, it took me a few plays to get into this, but loving it now.
Nasty backing guitars and percussion.
You can grab her latest single for free over on her website.

Almost retro 80‘s synth sounds from vocalist ‘Plastique’ and electro genius ‘Deadbeat’.
A punchy debut that has been looping on my playlists for the last few weeks, and I am not tiring of it.
