Five years ago: Lykke Li Wounded Rhymes

Lykki Li is one of those artists who have something magical within them. The songs she writes and how she delivers them are startlingly unique, yet accessible, emotional and likeable. Her second album Wounded Rhymes came out five years ago today.

These are my favourite songs from this amazingly special album. I love the melodies, the flow of the songs and the way Li delivers them. I especially the live delivery of several of these songs as captured on Austin City Limits, which I've embedded below. Lykke Li holds another entry on the list of artists that I really, really want to see in concert. Last time she was in Toronto, it was the same night as another show.

"Youth Knows No Pain"

"I Follow Rivers"

"Love Out of Lust"

"Get Some"

"Rich Kids Blues"

"Sadness Is a Blessing"

"Jerome"

Lykke Li on KEXP

A while back I used a bunch of cool KEXP episodes as quick daily blog posts during a busy time at work. The cool thing is that Lykke Li has done a KEXP concert. The not so cool thing is that my day job schedule is still a lot busier than I'd like. Oh well, at least there's cool music in my life.

In the clip, Lykke and her band play "I Never Learn", "No Rest For The Wicked", "Never Gonna Love Again" and "GunShot", and talk about the process of creating the magnificence that is Lykke's latest album I Never Learn.

More new Lykke Li tunes

Lykke Li's new album I Never Learn comes out May 6. I posted a couple of new tunes and now here's another one from the new album and one from the soundtrack of the movie Tommy, which she also acts in. Check out "No Rest For The Wicked" and "Du är den ende".

I'm definitely looking forward to the new album and would most certainly take the opportunity to see her perform live.

New Lykke Li

I really love Lykke Li's music. Even more after I watched her Austin City Limits performance. Now she's announced a new album I Never Learn which comes out May 5-6.

Here's the video for "Love Me Like I'm Not Made Of Stone" and the album trailer. Sounds beautiful.
