Lykke Li returns to New York
According to sources on the internet, Swedish singer Lykke Li's real name is Li Lykke Timotej Zachrisson. This must get confusing when people are referring to her and/or her music but I bet she has become used to responding to any combination of Lykke and Li. Maybe she has always gone with her middle name first.
Likewise, the origins of her music are not easily explained. I am still trying to figure out if she will have a backing band at her show or if it will just be her and a keyboard with samples on stage. Either way it works on record. Her album Youth Novels has the feel of a rainy day, not too exuberant and not too sullen. Horns whimper, pianos cry, but Lykke Li is optimistic. Check her out when she comes back to the U.S.
