You know you’re on the right track when you get a Buzzfeed category all to yourself. So you can assume that the latest Swede on the block, Lykke Li, is “set to do big things in 2008″ (© your chosen tabloid), as she managed just that last year (check it out here, where you’ll read many frothing and more-well informed articles than this one).
Like most people I’m a bit resistant to big old piles of hype. Er, that’s my excuse for not bothering to actually check out her music until now. But it’s nice when something comes close to justifying the praise thrown at it - and I think that Li’s “Little Bit”, the video for which is over the page, does just that. I’m surprised the line “and for you I keep my legs apart” hasn’t received more - ahem - exposure in the pimplesphere, mind.

It reminds me of Imogen Heap a little, and is almost certainly set to see her doomed to the label “ethereal”. But it’s also insanely catchy and commercial enough to soundtrack an icky Grey’s Anatomy love scene or something. The fact that she looks like a slightly less stabby Fiona Apple doesn’t hurt, either. And the video is pleasingly batty after a sedate start - stick around for the flailing limbs.
