Lykke Li Get Some (Warner)
4/5
By: Charlie Hearn
Swedish songstress Lykke Li has teetered on the edge of great things since her superb first single ‘I’m Good, I’m Gone’ was unearthed back in 2008. Yet despite a series of high profile collaborations that include being asked to do a Kings of Leon cover by the band themselves, it’s been more of a gradual assent to greatness rather than a runaway success.
Perhaps it’s her oddball image and distinct vocal style that’s steered her away from any defining breakthrough in the mainstream? Whatever it is, the latest instalment in the Lykke Li story sees our lady saucing it up, declaring in a rather forward fashion that she’s your prostitute and you’re gon’ get some.
Lykke’s seductive voice sits perfectly on top of a rumbling bassline and rattling drums, complete with warbling adlibs. It’s not quite as catchy as her previous releases but the production work is spot on, and it makes for a fine return from one of Sweden’s most under-recognised artists.
