Hultsfred wrapup – Lykke Li reviewed

As I alluded to in my post about Those dancing Days I was left a little cold by Lyke Li’s competent but otherwise uninspiring performance at Hultsfred. I think a lot of the blame can be placed on the fact that her music resides in the netherworld between pop, electronic, dance and indie rock. Combine that with her thin vocals and the occasional duds in her repertoire and you get an artist that may not be able to expand upon her hit “Little Bit”.

The show was not without a little excitement though. The aforementioned “Little Bit” got the crowd jumping and singing along and a background choir that consisted of fellow festival headline Robyn sent a stir throughout the crowd.

Incidentally Robyn rode the train back to Stockholm with us, albeit in the 1st class compartment!!
