Lykke Li

Swedish chanteuse Lykke Li reminds us of a blog-birthed Kylie Minogue, though in some of her live configurations there's the Blow's karaoke vibe and always just a little bit of Feist's charismatic but awkward charm. An icier, Scandinavian Lily Allen mixing tons of soul with her electro? Thing is, she plays with live instruments, too. It's fun trying to figure her out because she doesn't have a huge catalog at this point. Though she has a bona fide hit-in-the-making single: We can't get the 21-year-old's sugary, undeniable falling-in-love song "Little Bit" out of our heads. – stereogum.com
