New Lykke Li Video - "I'm Good, I'm Gone"

thumbnail icon: New Lykke Li Video - "I'm Good, I'm Gone"

When we first saw Lykke Li do "Little Bit," it was clear she liked to dance. This is all the more apparent in the Mattias Montero-directed video for "I'm Good, I'm Gone." (Actually, it looks like all of Sweden, including its elderly, like to cut the rug.) The song feels different than when Lykke sang it with the Swedish indie All Stars and in in the bathroom, though her Hammer pants and silky blouse resemble shower curtains.

Great stuff. Lots of slo-mo violence, but no worries: It's all good. Just dance.

Lykke Li - "Dance Dance Dance" (MP3)

Youth Novels is out in the US on 5/6 via Lykke's LL Recordings.

Strange but cool video. I'm surprised they got her to stand still even minimally though; she always strikes me as having a hard time standing still. Always ready to groove she is. :)

It's a shame that not all of Youth Novels is as good as "I'm Good, I'm Gone" and "Little Bit". She's definitely going to be one to watch, but unfortunately, YN is mainly filler.

I had to google how to pronounce her name. I didn't want to make an ass out of myself ordering tickets for her show in May. She is lovely!
