Lykke Li: Youth Knows No Pain

Lykke Li’s voice cracks in exactly the right places. Her production knows when to pull back. There’s no mystery to hide behind in her songs—just someone being straight about wanting, about loss, the small devastating observations about what it means to be attached to the wrong person. You listen to her at three in the morning and you feel less alone, which is both the best and worst thing a song can do.
