Amazingness: Covers Edition

Swedish songstress Lykke Li has been performing her cover of Kings of Leon's aching Knocked Up all over the place. Her cover is fantastic. Surprisingly, her voice suits it perfectly. Magical. Here's a clip of her performing it at a concert in January.



Le GaGa recently performed a wonderful cover of Coldplays' epic Viva La Vida on BBC's Radio 1 Live Lounge show. She really makes the song her own, adding some funny lyrics about Chris and Gwenyth. She also namedrops designer Yves Saint Laurent. I love the rollicking piano and her low voice. The Lady has a truly great, visceral voice. Terrific cover.

American TV Debut

Lykke Li performed for the first time on American television the other night. She performed my favorite song of hers, Breaking It Up, on Conan O'Brien. Check it out. She is just so cool.

Lykke Li Again

I know I just posted about Ms. Lykke Li yesterday, but I found these two awesome videos of her performing her sick nasty song "I'm Good, I'm Gone" in a taxi cab and a bathroom. Her voice is really good.

Lykke Li

Swedish songstress Lykke Li releases her debut album, Youth Novels, in the US today! Check her out. I posted some of her songs a few weeks ago. Her voice is very soft and almost delicate sounding, and she's also a wicked good dancer.
