Lykke Li

“Was that too slow for you?” the Swedish pop goddess asked a ready-to-dance crowd in the Crawdaddy tent

"Was that too slow for you?" the Swedish pop goddess asked a ready-to-dance crowd in the Crawdaddy tent. Well, yes, if you don't mind, it was. This is the last leg of a two-year tour on her debut album, Youth Novels, and it showed. Vocally, Lykke seemed just that little bit tired, but the songs – Dance, Dance, Danceand Little Bit– still held their own. There were just too few of them.

The rest – slow burners accompanied by vocal games that she didn't seem up to – weren't enough. A cover of the Kings of Leon's Knocked Upwas definitely a crowd-pleaser, but next time, she needs to include more new material. RMC
