« That's just the way they roll | Main | PODCAST! "Weird Science" = bad chemistry »
This 22-year-old Swede says her burbling electro-pop is inspired by Madonna and Bob Dylan. After listening to her debut, I’m also hearing Missing Persons, PJ Harvey and the guy who designs those big honkin’ IKEA catalogues. This is a hip, mellow affair, the kind of clean, sleek heartbreak you’d hear at a dinner party thrown by young Chicago architects. Not sure if that's a good thing or not. Whattaya think?
 Sean Daly is the pop music critic for the St. Petersburg Times. His CD collection -- from Journey to Dylan, Prince to U2, Public Enemy to Stan Getz -- is much bigger and better than yours. |

Ah! Finally a post that is not about the Jonas Brothers. I didn`t make any comments on the recent posts because i didn´t get what was that all about.
Now,this Lykke Li.This song is not brilliant,although minimally enjoyable.The video has images that look like Ingmar Bergman on acid.
But the weird thing is she saying that her music is a mix of Madonna and Bob Dylan!?! Like that would be possible!In the middle of the chaos of contemporary music there are still some sure things.One is you can`t mix Madonna and Bob Dylan!

I am not getting the whole Bob Dylan thing. Not bad though.

Sean, I love it when you reference Chicago (the city, not the band.)
Groovy little beat. Now, have you checked out Alphabeat? They come from Copenhagen. "Fascination" comes highly recommended from your's truly.
This Lykke Li is Santogold with less bass.

Sean, I liked it so well I went to Itunes and got the special edition.
Although, the video was a bit disturbing. The silver body builders reminded me of you and Steve...

Sorry about the double post.
I'm joking, of course, about the body builders. Sounded a bit mean after reading it...

I just rewatched the video.The song definitely doesn`t captivate me,but the video is a bit disturbing.There are moments reminding "Hour of the Wolf" by Bergman but on speed.

Sorry, I'm not digging this one.
