Swedish export and one of my current favorite pop sounds, Lykke Li, has released a third single off her debut album, Youth Novels. “Breaking It Up” follows “I’m Good, I’m Gone” and “Little Bit” and continues to showcase Lykke Li’s hot electro lo-fi pop sound.
In the video, Lykke Li lets her hair down and resumes the role of the femme fatale, seemingly paying homage to Fiona Apple’s famed “Criminal” video. The single has a very sparse, dark pop sound, and the video no doubt matches in visuals.
Currently on tour promoting her album, Lykke Li will swing by nine North American cities starting late October.
