VIDEO OF THE DAY: sadness is a blessing

I've got a mind fascination for... music videos, which is why I am eager for summer to commence so that I can make some with my amateur skills. So in the mean time I have been looking through some home-made and professional music videos on youtube. Here is one directed by Tarik Saleh. The video is of Lykke Li's "sadness is a blessing" from her latest LP release Wounded Rhymes. I think Saleh does a great job with it and Lykke Li should seriously consider acting. She is amazing. See for yourself...

"I ranted. I pleaded. I begged him not to go."



ALBUM REVIEW: wounded rhymes



Lykke Li's sophmore album, Wounded Rhymes, was available for full streaming exactly two weeks ago via SoundCloud making this album review way overdue. But I did however get the chance to spend more time with the songs and repeat the tracks I liked most. So overall I gave Lykke Li's Wounded Rhymes a 6.68 out of 10. So there are a lot of great songs on this album but there are also songs that are passable like "jerome" and "silent my song" which could be easily skipped for catchier tracks like "get some" and "I know places." The song that bears the album name is the sweet melody called "sadness is a blessing" in which Lykke Li sings "my wounded rhymes make solid cries tonight." In terms of diversity Wounded Rhymes nails it. If you're looking to be consoled by a sad song or looking to get up and dance or in the mood for a poetic song with great lyrics then you will find what you're looking for in this album.
