For me at least Lykke Li got lost in the glut of Scandinavian imports that have been flooding the music scene in past years. I got her debut Youth Novels when it was released in 2008, but until recently had only granted it a passing listen. Perhaps on Ellie Goulding withdrawal I turned to Lykke Li and have been pleasantly surprised. Without much of the electro pomposity and veneer of much of the current girl pop, Lykke Li crafts addicting hooks that belie their simplicity. Handclaps, exposed rhythms, pianos and her delicate, yet extremely flexible voice create depth in what are comparatively uncluttered tracks. Sorry of the wait Lykke Li, but I have finally learned to appreciate the pop goodness that is Youth Novels.
