Miss Li is a Swedish singer at a piano much like Ann Brun, Frida Hyvonen or Stina Nordenstam except for her lack of pretense. Her style is a mix of jazz, cabarert and blues. Her lyrics are naive and simple and full of life. There is little of the smotheringly coy twee sound or the ironic detachment of indie rock to be found here.
Miss Li’s debut record, Late Night Heartbroken Blues, is coming out November 22nd on National Records. I believe all of these songs will be on there in a more formal version. In fact “Oh Boy” is the first single.
