Lykke Li (SE)

About

Also known as: Lykke Li Timotej Zachrisson

Lykke Li built her reputation on music that sits somewhere between indie pop, dream pop and electronic, with a knack for turning raw emotion into something danceable. Her debut album Youth Novels came out in 2008, produced by Björn Yttling of Peter Bjorn and John, and landed on countless year end best of lists. The follow up, Wounded Rhymes, gave her the song she is best known for: "I Follow Rivers", which hit number one in multiple European countries and even turned up in two Palme d'Or winning films via The Magician's remix. She has never stayed in one lane for long. She contributed vocals to Röyksopp's Junior and appeared on Kleerup's self titled record, while her song "Possibility" was written specifically for the Twilight Saga: New Moon soundtrack. Her third album I Never Learn arrived in 2014, and she later lent her voice to U2's "The Troubles" on Songs of Innocence. Since then she has kept moving, releasing So Sad So Sexy in 2018, collaborating with Mark Ronson on his single "Late Night Feelings" in 2019, and putting out the Eyeye project in 2022.
