Hello people, I'm back with a little something to share.

I chanced upon this Swedish indie singer, Lykke Li, who has a set of really unique vocals. Personally, I like her vocals cos' I haven't heard such unique vocals from singers in a long long time. Singers this days doesn't seem to have striking vocals and there's something special about hers. Her voice seems as light as a feather yet we can all hear that her singing foundation is strong. I like her pronunciation when it comes to the lyrics as well, probably due to her accent?

Her music is what people would describe as "arty farty" but actually it's more like a fusion of soul, electronics and "powdered-sugar pop". I like the way she makes use of electronics in her songs and yet, they still sound so groovy. She reminds me of Lily Allen and Feist. To me, there's something special in their songs that makes them different from the rest.

Lykke Li's music videos are really interesting as well. There's always people doing vigorous and sudden movements (some are even like spasms) and they always go in tune with her songs. Some are even robotic and mechanical, probably due to the frequent usage of electronics in her songs I suppose?

Check it out below.







With Sarah Assbring of El Perro Del Mar as well!  El Perro Del Mar means sea dog in Spanish and it's a musical project. Anyway, this videos are lovely! Especially Lykke and Sarah's harmonizing parts. I find those really pleasing to the ears. I think they're a perfect combination. (:







Can you imagine all this are done live on the streets? Amazing right?

And yes I had fun in Taiwan/HK and I'll update about the trip soon. I'll have to upload the photos first. There's lots of them. I think I took close to a thousand pictures. Haha!

Yay! The weekends are here once more. (:


Reassurance is a form of lie before the tragedy strikes.
 I pray that things will be alright.
