I’m really, REALLY behind on this one. Not the blog, I don’t care about the update frequency — I’m talking about Lykke Li. Her debut came two years ago and I started listening to her about a week ago. The Swedish scene was somewhat swamped with female newcomers back then and I think I just couldn’t cope with ‘em all at once. The track that got me hooked on Lykke was yet again a remix, without it her album “Youth Novels” would be pretty much unbeknown (yes, it’s a real word) to me. Yay remixes!
So, here we are — a new musical relationship is in its budding prime. First up: the original track “Breaking It Up”. According to the YouTubes this is an “alternative video” filmed by Christian Haag in one take, live.
I like the video and I like the track. The remix video on the other hand is pure garbage — but the track is yet another example of some outstanding remix magic courtesy of two guys from London, namely “Punks Jump Up”. Name of the track: “Lykke Li – Breaking It Up (punks Jump Up Remix)”. Enjoy.
I’m looking forward to Lykkes next release, whenever that is due.
