Curveball - Lykke Li
Every week on my show, I play you 15 minutes of curveballs - records that you wouldn't normally hear on 1Xtra but definitely deserve to be on your radar. This week I played a record by Lykke Li. I was watching Jools Holland last week and discovered her:
Crazy and for my money, absolutely amazing right?
So why should you like her? Here are 5 reasons:
1) She's from Sweden. Same place as Ikea. Everyone loves Ikea.
2) She's from the same extended camp as Peter, Bjorn and John and Robyn and not unlike Robyn, Lykke easily fuses black music with experimental, dance and indie beats.
3) She's an 80's baby.
4) She's crazier than a box of badgers but has an amazing voice and style
5) The boys and girls over at are also feeling the Lykke Li sound.
