Lykke Li’s New Album Out In May

Lykke Li’s New Album Out In May

Lykke Li hasn’t released an album since Wounded Rhymes, her breakthrough LP from 2011, but we can expect a follow-up this spring. Interestingly, she has described her albums as a trilogy, with this new one being the final installment. Talking to NME, she says:

I see my albums as a trilogy, with Youth Novels as the first one and hopefully this one as the last in this chapter … it’s always about me and the guilt and the shame and the hurt and the pride and the confusion of being a woman … I always feel like I’ve been slightly misunderstood. As a woman you get judged for appearances or things like that I don’t really care about. If anything I want to be seen as a singer-songwriter rather than a pop artist. I really feel like I’ve found my voice.

Before the album’s out, Li will appear in the Swedish thriller Tommy. Watch a trailer here.
