lycklig lykke li


The Lykke Li album Youth Novels is one of my favorites. Not only because she's Swedish and clearly very cool (here seen posing in Acne as part of her new spokesperson status for them) but also because her music makes her sound way older than her 23 years.

She has just written a song for the New Moon soundtrack. It is UNREAL. Such a great song. I am reeling over it. And just discovered that when she'd been asked to write the song for the movie, she was actually pretty unsure about being part of something so big-budget-Hollywood. Then she saw a pre-screening of the movie and fell so in love with the story that she became COMPELLED to write it. Yeah, the song is that good.

Another reason she's cool - her name is sort of a play-on-words in Swedish. Lycklig means happy.
