Swedish songstress Lykke Li is only 23 years old, but is already making a name for herself. Her debut album, Youth Novels, was a hit packed with the explosion of electronic pop-rock and a little new age. Her soft vocals on the album transcend lightly layered, minimalist instrumentals creating a unique and distinctive sound. Growing up, Lykke’s family spent time in Lisbon, Morocco, Nepal and India which she credits as a major influence on her music.  At the age of 21, she moved to a section of Brooklyn, NY called Bushwick to record her album.

Lykke over the past two years has become increasingly popular with indie music fans. She took her flavor of music more mainstream, receiving a great deal of notoriety for her cover of “Knocked Up”, originally recorded by Kings of Leon, and “Little Bit” in which she performs a remix of her song with hip hop sensation Drake. In addition, Lykke Li performed at this years’ Coachella and Lollapalooza music festivals.

Recently, she was asked to write a song for the sound track of box office hit New Moon. After seeing an early screening of the movie she became inspired and wrote  her most recent hit “Possiblity.” According to sources, she has started writing material for her second album but insists it will be a long wait until it is finished for fans to hear. Either way she is definitely an artist to keep a look out for in the future.
