Lykke Li - Get Some

Lykke Li is a Swedish indie singer. Her music often blends elements of pop, electronic, and alternative rock; various instruments can also be found in her songs, including violins, tambourines, trumpets, saxophones, and cellos. A pretty interesting mix of instruments. She released her debut album, Youth Novels, in 2008. And soon it's time for Lykke to hit the road, see the upcoming show dates below.

Her debut was actually pretty good, this is a style that does not really appeal to me, but somehow she manages to get me interested. The latest single "Get Some" has successfully become entrenched, but disappeared some time in from my mind until I put the brake on it a bit harder type of rock. This morning, I screwed up "Get Some" by mistake on the radio and stayed on that channel as it was played at, really good, played on a lap at Spotify on the job and now I have to share with you on:)

Feels a bit as I've consumed over the harder style of rock a bit, very well have been due to all the live concerts that were in November and December last year, this year has started quite calm, which has been quite nice, but it soon breaks loose again.

Todays tune "Get Some" it's from her upcoming second studio album, Wounded Rhymes. Produced by Björn Yttling of Peter Bjorn and John, it was released in Sweden on 22 October 2010 as the album's lead single. The video for Get Some, directed by Johan Söderberg.



During an interview for The Guardian on 13 December 2010, Li said of the song:
"A lot of people think it's about sex. But it's about power. I was reading the Murakami book The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, where she goes into this guy's mind by making him fantasise about her, so it's kind of like powerplay. As soon as a woman does anything, they seem to hit a nerve and it's back to sex. At least men seem to think that."
