Lykke Li - Dance Dance Dance from weheartmusic.com

After a hugely successful, sold-out tour of America this spring with El Perro Del Mar, Stockholm's newest pop songstress, Lykke Li, will be returning to the States this August with select shows in Los Angeles and New York, followed by a full US tour this October/November. The August shows will celebrate the release of Lykke Li's incredible debut album, Youth Novels, out on August 19th on her own label, LL Recordings.

Joining a few of the dots between Feist, Peter, Bjorn and John, and Robyn, 22 year-old Lykke Li has been winning over audiences across the globe with her very own strain of otherworldly minimalist pop music. A master of subtle delivery, leftfield arrangements, lovelorn beauty and undeniable brilliance, Lykke Li's songs transcend genre, anchored by her diverse influences which range from everything from Dr. John to A Tribe Called Quest to Madonna. Youth Novels, produced by Peter, Bjorn and John's Bjorn Yttling, casts a spell immediately upon first listen, resulting in wildfire acclaim in Lykke Li's native Sweden and the UK (where the record was just released), with America quickly following suit.

As anyone who saw her this spring can testify – a Lykke Li show is quite a magical thing. Using only the basics – drums, acoustic guitar and bass, a sole keyboard – and a necklace full of percussion, Lykke Li puts on an incredibly captivating show, reworking each song for the stage so that it gets crowds dancing while taking on a life of its own. The result is a show that's not to be missed!!

”…it’s programmed dance-pop, stacking modest sounds into slyly intricate tracks. Lykke Li sings about her shyness, but she’s not too shy for pop ambitions.” – The New York Times

”She’s got the charming eccentricity of Regina Spektor and the confident cool of M.I.A.” – Blender
