Lykke Li's sophomore album, Wounded Rhymes hit store shelves on March 1st. The album's hard hitting sound and no-holds barred lyrics differs quite significantly from her debut album, Youth Novels in 2008. She sings about having the "Rich Kid Blues," tells people to "Love out of Lust," and no longer is a "Little Bit" in love with you. If you're looking for something a little different from that mainstream shit they play on the radio these days, Lykke Li is your girl.
I'm not going to lie, the main reason I was so excited to purchase this EP on iTunes was for its cover art. It ends up I didn't just buy it for the pretty colours, but because this guy's music is actually so dope! Theophilus London's EP, Lovers Holiday was released on iTunes on February 8, just in time for the lovers holiday itself: Valentine's Day. The EP has five songs, one which features Sara Quin from the girl duo, Tegan and Sara; and another with Beyonce's baby sis, Solange Knowles. The New York based rapper has been compared to fellow hip-hop artist Kid Cudi, with his smooth vocals and wacky beats.
If you want to know what I'm talking about, have a listen to "Girls Girls $," aka my favourite song on this album:
