The 25 Tracks That Dominated My 2014 Over All Others

I already babbled on extensively about my favorite full releases and music videos of the year, but it’s been eating away at me that I didn’t put some focus on the individual tracks I spent a significant amount of time with since 2014 began. So without wasting any more of your time than needed, below […]

Watch Lykke Li Cover Drake In London

Having already spent much of the last five months on the road, Lykke Li is still out touring in brief stints.

Lykke Li Is Still Lonely In The “Gunshot” Video, Despite The Bikers And Twerkers

Lykke Li‘s stunning new album I Never Learn, is a heartbreaking one. I’ve gone on about this before, but it’s just that distressing. Someone give her a hug and a puppy. A sense of foreboding continues in the video for “Gunshot,” an artsy take on either the apocalypse or a Wal-Mart parking lot. Lykke Li, […]

Album Stream: Lykke Li – ‘I Never Learn’

We’ve been talking about Lykke Li‘s highly-anticipated I Never Learn since it was announced in February, taking you through “heart-wrenching” videos and rap-remixes of the loneliest and most forlorn of lamentations.

In accord with the new tradition of trendy pop acts and hip rappers hooking up for fresh takes on new tracks, Lykke Li has released a version of “No Rest for the Wicked” featuring some heavy lifting from A$AP Rocky.

Stream Lykke Li’s New Single, “Gunshot”

Indie songstress Lykke Li has released her third single, “Gunshot,” off her upcoming third studio album today. The single takes more of a sodden pop route, tracing heartbroken lyrics out in a pretty produced, anthemic piece of sweeping vocals and sturdy guitar work. All in all, it sounds in line with her other work while ditching […]

Get Bummed With Lykke Li’s New Video For “No Rest For The Wicked”

So Lykke Li dropped a new song bearing the title “No Rest For the Wicked” last month and, like the very worst of the snarky internet commenter crowd, I made Cage the Elephant jokes. Now, after watching the video for that same song, I feel pretty terrible about myself. The loneliness that Lykke Li laments on […]
