Lykke Li puzzles me. Her dress sense has a nod to chav-chique, her voice is little and cute, and her tunes range from the tender to the danceable. She's not the kind of artist I would usually like, yet, following on from her perfomance at the Roadhouse in April, I couldn't pass up the chance to see her again last night at Night and Day. She's got bucketloads of charisma, and pulls off dancemoves not seen since a night at the local disco. If you haven't seen her yet, tracks like 'Breaking it up', 'Little Bit' and new single 'I'm Good I'm Gone' all sound like potential top 5 singles, so make sure you catch her on this tour as she's such a star-in-waiting she'll be gracing theatre sized venues before you know it. She also closed the evening with a cover of "Can I kick it", which is my favourite live moment of the year. Go see her.
