Lykke Li

Not a new act. Lykke Li is already on her way to being a superstar in the UK. Her album has just been released and her first single is already getting tons of airtime both on radio and television. This post is meant to highlight how an artist like Lykke goes from being an indie princess to being a top 40 hit. Alright so she might have worked her ass off, sure...but it is also interesting to notice that in her latest video her hair is slick. Key word here, slick. Her good looks, and slick image help us take note of her talent. Boy oh boy, is there talent. All one has to do is first watch the video for "I'm Good, I'm Gone" below, and then watch a live performance of the same song (also below). And yes that is indeed Robyn helping her with the live performance. All I can say is wow. Here is hoping Lykke Li international success and a top 40 hit in North America too.

WRAP IT UP:
Hot Track(s): I'm Good, I'm Gone, Breaking It Up.
Kind of Like: Robyn (hate to make this comparison, but I have to) starts to dress out of Roisin Murphy's closet.

PREDICTION:
A top 20 hit in the U.K. and success in North American dance clubs.
