Lykke Li

Dang. Lykke Li. This broad is getting major hype. Not only is she bringing it, but she’s really dope and talented. If you haven’t heard of the Swedish newcomer’s “free spirited, performance pop” from my Urban Outfitter’s LSTN #1 post a while back, you are missing out. But, don’t fret—it’s not too late.

The first song that I heard from her was “Little Bit”. I think I was replaying it for a couple of times (along with some others) when I was listening to the LSTN #1 album. Here’s her first video:

Yah, not too shabby. But check it—here are some bits of her performing live:

Pretty dope, ain’t she? It may float your boat or not, but expand those senses. Here are some ways to keep up with her:

If you dig her, go support and get her album Youth Novels, now available at Amazon.

Man oh man… I’m diggin’ the works. Truly one of the gifted artists I draw inspiration from, Evgeny Kiselev:

The diverse work of Evgeny Kiselev oscillates between the rigors of symmetry and prolific excess. Several compositions begin with vivid tiled patterns that are mirrored again and again until they can no longer be contained and are forced to push beyond the confines of their logic. Others, emerge from a single outline that manifests the controlled lawlessness of the work. Each piece achieves a complexity of color and layer that continues to build infinitely into the space of the page creating a warping spatial depth.

Here are some of Evgeny Kiselev’s pieces that I dig of the bat (click thumbnails to view larger versions):

I happen to stumble upon some interesting Twitter pages. Here’s what I’ve found:

Most of ‘em are constantly updating, although Lil Wayne hasn’t since 8-months ago. I think he has been pretty busy lately if you ask me =)
