Lykke Li

Li Lykke Timotej Zachrisson (born March 18, 1986 in Stockholm, Sweden), better known by her stage name Lykke Li, is a singer. She was raised by artistic parents (her mother was a photographer, her father is a musician); she lived in Portugal for five years and spent winters in Nepal and India. At one point, she worked as a dancer on Swedish TV. Li released her first album, Youth Novels on LL Recordings in the Nordic region on 4 February 2008, prior to a wider European release this June. The album was produced by Björn Yttling (of Peter Bjorn and John) and Lasse Mårtén. It was released in the United States on 6 May 2008. The 2007 EP "Little Bit" had some success on its release (featuring a very delicious and common known remixe by AutoErotique). Stereogum named her an artist to watch in October 2007, describing her music as a mix of soul, electro and powdered-sugar pop. She featured at various songs, most likely N.A.S.A Gifted (feat. Kanye West, Santogold & Lykke Li). Discography * Youth Novels (2008) Links * http://www.lykkeli.com * Lykke Li at MySpace * Lykke Li at Twitter * Lykke Li - Musicbrainz.org page
