I once considered Lykke Li‘s music too precious for my tastes, but last fall she released the percussive come-on, “Get Some,” which I couldn’t get enough of. Justifiably so, the song placed on my Top Tracks of 2010 list. But Li briefly bewildered me once more with the release of her arty wordless film on Monday. Wisely following up that puzzling piece with a proper new music video, the Swedish songstress is again back in my good graces.

“I Follow Rivers” is the second single from the Swedish songstress’ forthcoming album, Wounded Rhymes. If the rest of Lykke Li’s new set is as assertive as the two songs she’s shared thus far, I’d swim the deep sea to hear it. Consider me all in.

Purchase Lykke Li – “I Follow Rivers” via iTunes, Amazon MP3.

Wounded Rhymes doesn’t arrive until 3/1, but RCRD LBL has free downloads of “Get Some” (original and Beck remix), plus the Dave Sitek Remix of “I Follow Rivers.” That should be enough to tide you over in the interim.
