2008–2025years

Lykke Li, from Ystad in Sweden and born in 1986, makes pop that sounds like it's been left out in the snow: dreamy and indie at heart, with electronic beats thumping underneath. Her debut, Youth Novels, arrived in 2008 with "Little Bit", a shy, featherlight whisper of a song.

Wounded Rhymes in 2011 is where she toughened up. "I Follow Rivers", still her biggest hit, stomps along on drums like a tribal lament, and "Get Some" is a strutting, swaggering dare. I Never Learn in 2014 turned inward again with the aching "No Rest for the Wicked", and the albums kept coming after that: So Sad So Sexy in 2018, Eyeye in 2022 and The Afterparty in 2026.

Singing and songwriting are only part of the story; she also models and acts.
