Here’s the video for Lykke Li’s “Breaking It Up”, directed by Sarah Chatfield. In it, we see a sexier-than-ever Lykke Li busting some moves, and treating men like dirt, all from behind a generous layer of eye shadow. This excellently-shot video is a must-see.

And if you want even more Lykke Li, be sure to check out the latest chapter of La Blogotheque, which saw Lykke Li and El Perro Del Mar collaborating on a couple of songs.

The Hood Internet vs Lykke Li

The Hood Internet make mashups — very good mashups, actually — and the occasional mixtape. Now, we didn’t think this morning’s Holy Fuck news could be topped, but then The Hood Internet released a mini-mixtape.

They’ve mixed 6 tracks from Lykke Li’s upcoming album with various things — ranging from Digitalism and Hercules & Love affair to Booka Shade and Gui Boratto — and created something that is surprisingly enjoyable to listen to (not that the original isn’t great or anything).

It’s a free download on their site.

Lykke Li - I’m Good, I’m Gone

If you ask me, Lykke Li draws immediate comparisons to another Scandinavian pop artist, Annie, and this is a good thing. I’m Good, I’m Gone is a track from Li’s 2008 debut Youth Novels that has a foot-tapping bass track, a smattering of piano, and is undeniably fun vocal track.

And on top of all that, it features hand clapping, and is there a better way to kick off a beautiful Friday than with a song that includes hand claps. No. No there isn’t.
