It’s not for the cock, it’s for a slice of Swedish pop
<!--StartFragment--> Lykke Li @ Koko, London, Friday 28th November Swedish pop minx, Lykke Li, is in Camden town and is poised to play what must be one of her biggest gigs yet and, judging by the hoards of young females in imitating attire, it is the perfect setting for a triumphant gig. As the designated stage time fades into the distance without us even catching a glimpse of Li...
Lykke Li + Kings Of Leon = MNSTRM?
Yall. Lykke Li is alright. Does she write her own music or does she just deliver ‘charismatic performances’ over well produced songs.

Top Singles of 2008: #1 - 10
10. Chairlift - "Bruises"; Talk about your commercial appeal, I wouldn’t have given this album the time of day or have gone to see the band during CMJ without this song taking over my TV on all those freaking iPod commercials.
