Lykke Li Visits Chicago
Lykke Li is on fire right now. The Swedish pop star brought her music to the US last year courtesy of Bjorn Yttling (yes, that Bjorn) who produced her album, Youth Novels. The starlet's debut made its way onto a lot of year-end "Best of" lists for '08. I must admit, I didn't really like the album the first time I heard it, but now I'm totally getting into her dreamy hopeful ambiance and sugar-sweet vocals. Sometimes all it takes is a second listen...
After a stint in Europe, she's now on the US leg of her tour and she comes to Chicago tomorrow night. Tickets for the Metro show are still available, but I imagine they won't be for long--I've heard her live show is not to be missed. Wildbirds & Peacedrums open. Tickets are $18 ($20 day of show). Show starts at 8pm. All ages. 3730 N. Clark St. 773-549-0203.
