Here comes the second single from Lykke Li's sophomore release pending March 1, Wounded Rhymes. Using a relatively flat vocal range throughout the verses, Lykke carries most the strength of the song in the chorus with a catchy repetition of vowel sounds. Reminiscent of beats from the 50s and 60s Motown, "I Follow Rivers" impregnates a soulfulness in Lykke Li's voice that was otherwise absent in her first album. Hear the single above via soundcloud.
And not even 24 hours after it drops, someone has already gone and made a remix of it. The Magician takes the powerful elements of the chorus and echoes it throughout the track over a faster BPM and hip-motivating loops. The remix is here via soundcloud for you to check out:
