The video for Wounded Rhymes’ “Jerome” features a perfect, stripped down ‘acoustic session’ version of the song, which seems to have been recorded live for the clip. Lykke Li continues to be talented and beautiful, above. (24B)

Lykke Li drinks, spits, dances, and has a general breakdown in a restaurant in the new clip for Wounded Rhymes fav, “Sadness is a Blessing,” as the other diners are more startled by the subtle moments before and after. Directed by Tarik Saleh and starring Stellan Skarsgård. HeartLykkeLi.

Gold Panda rework’s Lykke Li’s “Sadness is a Blessing” from the super wonderful Wounded Rhymes (full album stream still up). Free mp3 via RCRD LBL…a steal if there ever was one. Really, download this. Sadness is your boyfriend.

“I Know Places”, one of my favorite tracks from Lykke Li’s beautiful new record live from the moon, above. Wounded Rhymes is out now, and is gorgeous. (GvsB)

Lykke Li’s long-awaited, Radiohead pause worthy sophomore, Wounded Rhymes, is out within 7 days, but until then you can stream the album in full via the exclusive on Hype Machine. Wounded rhymes, unrequited love, rich kid blues, etc.

Wounded Rhymes is due February 28.

“A major heart break and a post tour depression drove a very delusional LL out to the desert with some friends and a super 8 camera.” The result is the above short film by Moses Berkson featuring music by Lykke Li and Bjorn Yitling of Peter Bjorn and John, which is reminding me of those [...]

Lykke Li’s “Possibility” was one of the many incredible (frankly, unbelievable) highlights of the Twilight Saga’s New Moon soundtrack. Above is a ’special performance’ of the track, and the first ever time it’s been played live. It was recorded at Decibel Studios in Stockholm on March 9. Here you go, internet(s).

Guess where I was last night? Not there.
Kanye West came out on stage last night during Clipse’s set at the Diesel Party at NYC’s Webster Hall to perform their song, “Kinda Like a Big Deal.” Lykke Li also made a guest appearance during The Roots’ set, and other acts included Passion Pit, The Noisettes, and [...]
