In Her Own Words: Lykke Li on feeling like Cyndi Lauper (+ Deep End video)

Lykke Li – so sad so sexy is available for pre-order on iTunes.

“I feel like I’m always doing opposite things. LIV was very analog and ’70s, and now I’m accidentally doing pop, in a very non-shameful way.” She chuckles. “I started out pop by accident, and everyone was like, ‘Oh, you’re pop,’ and I was like, ‘No, I’m not! I’m indie!’ I got really offended. And then [I Never Learn] was like the least pop album ever. Then now I’m getting back to it and feeling like, Cyndi Lauper wrote some fucking amazing songs. That’s nothing to be ashamed of.”
