In a recent interview with The Fader, Lykke Li divulged some details on the writing process for her new album I Never Learn, due out 5 May via LL Recordings, as well as her film debut as Blanca in Swedish thriller “Tommy” and why she doesn’t write happy songs.
“I would rather bake a pie than make a happy song,” she notes. If that’s not enough context for you, you can watch the full interview below.
Additionally, you can stream her new album I Never Learn via NPR here (until its release on 5 May).
