It comes to a point in a woman’s life, where she must address her fears and her strengths. Examining the duality of power, Lykke Li unveils those personal stories of vulnerability and strength.
The Swedish storyteller establishes her new voice through the maturation of her lyrical and vocal content. Emotionally charged with thunderous percussion in the opening tracks Youth Knows No Pain and I Follow Rivers, listeners will feel at one with Lykke Li. The craft of her musicianship excels in the outro of I Know Places and will transport you into a surreal world.
Though the album is drenched with a deeper and darker mood, her quirkiness remains scattered through tracks such as Rich Kids Blues.
3 and a half stars.
