Lykke Li – Tonight

28 Jan

Not sure if I’ll ever get enough of . I don’t post music videos here often, but I think I’m going to start to. “Tonight,” which appears on the US release of ’s debut Youth Novels, has one of the most budgeted music videos of the year, seriously.

But what I would have never guessed is how artistic a “one shot/static background” (as Stereogum puts it) music video could be. ’s facial expressions and bearly-there fidgeting brings in all of the raw emotion that a video with a $10,000 or $50,000 price tag offers.

Lykke Li – Tonight

So tons of love for the Gum for premiering a simplistic beauty like “Tonight,” oh and for this MP3 that somehow escaped me.

Kleerup (Feat. Lykke Li) – Until We Bleed (Mikael’s Cello Version)

A Cello version of that song that one song. Way cool. Kudos to Mikael for this and for having an awesomely spelled name.

    Intense! This is the first song I heard by her and it was instant love. Hard to not draw comparisons to Sinead O’Connor’s video for “Nothing Compares 2 U” but fuck it I love this. Thank you!!

    how many versions do we need? there’s the original demo (the mp3 above), the album version and now this video which is different again. the demo is still, in my opinion, the best version by far. it’s much more restrained in its production and a million times more effective as a result.
