Lykke Li - Jerome (Acoustic Session)

“Front and back you’re on my mind / Your name is in my ceiling / And how I know, I know you’re mine / For you I’m not leaving…”

“The starkness of the above clip offers a pretty good feel for what it’s like to step into Lykke Li’s world. Recorded in Sweden before she left for her current tour, this stripped-down version of the new album’s “Jerome” features the artist’s band delivering the dark, twisted pop that Lykke has become so adept at.”

Check out the new video for “Jerome” - acoustic style!

PS22 Chorus Covers Lykke Li ‘s Breaking It Up

Lykke Li was recently covered by the famed PS22 Chorus. The kids took on the Swedish solo artist’s “Breaking It Up” and were visited by former chorus member Josh from their 2004 group. Apparently Josh has the distinction of being the only third grader to ever join the ranks of the PS22 Chorus. And from the looks of it his soulful and powerful voice can only predict big things for this young man!

Likke Li - Webster Hall NYC
Tonight I had the pleasure of seeing Lykke Li (pronounced Licky Lee) once again at Webster Hall in NYC. I just love her swagger. That bitch can bring it!
With hair slicked back and wearing heavy black eyeliner, Lykke wore a black leotard and a revealing cloak that made her look like a vixen from Robert Palmer’s  “Addicted to Love” video.
With ribbons of black curtain hanging down amidst the ensemble (which  included two drummers, a keyboard player, backup vocalist, and one  player who switched between electric bass and acoustic guitar) Lykke often  banged on drums or a tambourine herself as she shazzamed the stage often grooving to the beat.
The music was powerful as ever as  Lykke drew heavily from her second album, Wounded Rhymes, built up from “component parts that are creatively updated from girl-group and garage-band staples dated all the way back to street-corner 1950s doo-wop.”
If you haven’t had the chance to see Lykke Li I suggest you do. She’s one bad-ass chick who no doubt will continue to shazzam it for years to come!

The Shazzamity

Shazzamity in a nut shell. Pigeon posts are often found here. It's a love/hate thing. As well your typical commentary on the contributions our society makes to music, fashion, film, and television. It's pomp and circumstance, y'all! The shazzamity starts here. I'll even punch that pigeon in the face if I have to. (Please note: No actual pigeons were harmed in the making of this blog.)
