Cherrydial’s soundtrack to the week has been Swedish female singer Lykke Li’s second album Wounded Rhymes. Sometimes it sounds like the raging theme to a western, with opener Youth Knows No Pain setting the scene from the beginning. I don’t want to give you the impression that Lykke doesn’t have her quieter reflective moments. In fact she has many like on the sad and mournful Unrequited Love and Sadness is a Blessing. The latter song stands out for its sixties piano and booming drum backing. Not everything on this album is automatically infectious though I Follow Rivers gripped me immediately. However, this collection eventually eased its way under my skin after a few listens.
