Following the release of her critically acclaimed second album 'Wounded Rhymes', Lykke Li (AKA Lykke Li Zachrisson) has today confirmed her new single ‘Sadness is a Blessing’ out on May 16th.
The past month has been a whirlwind of activity for Ms. Zachrisson. After releasing her album worldwide, she has spent quite a lot of time in the US where her performance of Jimmy Fallon caused quite a stir along with her amazing cover feature in the current issue of Spin Magazine. She’ll be coming back to the UK in a few weeks to play a selection of dates including a sold out show at Shepherd’s Bush Empire on April 14th. For those who missed out on tickets for this gig, she’s also announced a date at London’s Roundhouse in November. She’ll also be performing at loads of festivals across the UK including End of the Road Festival and Lovebox with more to come.
Set for release on May 16th, ‘Sadness is a Blessing’ is certainly one of the key tracks from the album. Harking back to Lykke’s love of 60s girl groups, the single will also feature a new video. Watch this space for more news.
