Swedish singer-songwriter Likke Li (Li Zachrisson) focused on penning
simple shy melancholic pop tunes on Youth Novels (2008), highlighted by
the infectious singles Little Bit (2007) and I'm Good I'm Gone but
better represented by restrained electronic folk-soul elegies such as
Dance Dance Dance
and Let it Fall.
By comparison, the string-laden Breaking It Up was magniloquent (but
it also pointed to the future).
Much of the credit for the ambience goes to producer Bjorn Yttling (of
Peter Bjorn & John ).
Shunning the juvenile intimacy and modesty of the first album,
Wounded Rhymes (Atlantic, 2011) adopted a louder and denser sound,
but ironically the effect was to connect with the teen idols and the girl
groups of the early 1960s
(Love Out of Lust, Sadness Is a Blessing, Unrequited Love)
if occasionally hijacked by Middle-eastern temptations (I Follow Rivers
and especially the
tribal punkish Get Some reminiscent of the Bangles' Walk Like An Egyptian).
