Born in Sweden, Lykke Li's cool brand of electronic dream pop is decidedly Scandinavian, and bears a faint resemblance to that other Nordic music goddess Björk. In Lykke Li's music the synthesizers are like shimmering fjords, and the violins and cellos like ice-capped mountain peaks. However, it's Lykke Li's voice -- a soprano -- that has the range of a cinematic Nordic vista and his force of her music. Lykke Li dropped her debut album, Youth Novels, in 2008. In 2009, the singer-songwriter won the Meteor Music Award for Best International Artist. Lykke Li released her sophomore album, Wounded Rhymes, in 2011; featuring an innovative mix of tribal beats, skittering keyboards and sultry yet haunting, pop noir-style vocals, the album landed on many music critics' lists for best albums of 2011, including the New York Times and Rolling Stone.
Lykke Li is as famous for her eclectic concerts as she is her unusual soundscapes. Equipped with nothing but a drum kit, guitar, bass, and a necklace made of percussive instruments, Lykke Li's simple stage set-up – as minimal as a Swedish landscape in winter -- has been electrifying ticket buyers since her meteoric rise to fame in 2009. She has a massive global fan base that follows her tours all over the world, bringing venues like Observatory North Park (San Diego) to capacity. She has played big-name outdoor concert festivals like Glastonbury, Lollapaloooza, and Coachella, and has appeared on Last Call with Carson Daily and the Late Show with David Letterman. The song "Get Some" has been featured on TV programs like Hawaii Five-O and Pretty Little Liars, and "I Follow Rivers" was highlighted on Glee. The Magician Remix of "I Follow Rivers," however, is a runaway club hit in Europe, peaking at No. 1 in Romania and No. 2 in Ireland.
Lykke Li is an amazing performer with an unbelievable voice. She sounded just as good, if not better, than she sounds on her albums. Lykke had a great set list and played almost all of her hits. Thankfully, I'm seeing her play in Central Park this summer. She's the best!!
Lykke Li gave an amazing performance as always! I love going to her shows to see the creative freedom she commands. Just wished she could have came out earlier to perform more songs, we left the show craving more Lykke Li!!!
Special effects distracted from the concert. The smoke machine was on for the entire set. Hanging fabric kept rapping around the band members. Music was good and the crowd enthusiastic.
Despite the show starting almost two hours after the published schedule, and the usual crowd of college kids shoving and hardly respecting your private space or the fact you also want to see what goes on, Lykke itself was amazing, the show was enticing, she really gave a good performance and made sure not to miss any of her hits
what a great performance! She was so fun to watch and has such confidence on stage. Great show! I would recommend anyone to see her live. They will not be disappointed
Set was not long enough and mood felt a bit somber.
Her setlist/energy was incredible! Very engaging! Very vulnerable on stage, so raw! Afterwards, she came out to the crowd and was talking with the fans, since the venue was so small.
Lykke Li does so much with so little space and so few props. There is an intensity to her perormance style that sets a mood and keeps you in her world. From the opening number to the last encore Lykke Li was consistent and kept the great songs coming. Highly recommended!
Lykke Li is always fun. She is high energy and is sexy as hell.
