MP3: Miss Li - Miss Li
Miss Li embodies the antithesis of what most people consider Swedish girls to be like. Vivacious, risqué and devilish - not to mention, as she says herself, "pathetic... vain and wicked, self-loving and ridiculously naive," not to mention endowed with "a big mouth and heart full of shit." Not exactly the kind of girl you bring home to mom, y'know? As to whether Miss Li's boasts are applicable to Linda Carlsson, her offstage alter-ego, I couldn't say.
As for the album "Late night heartbroken blues" as a whole, it has its moments, but is a little tiresome to listen to straight through. Both the recording and the songwriting are dynamically flat. However, it's easy to understand the hype as many individual tracks sound fresh and exciting on their own. I imagine that, like in the case of I'm From Barcelona and their debut album, the release got rushed to capitalize on the ongoing buzz and suffered a bit as a result. Both IFB and Miss Li are very talented, there's no doubt, but they could've used more time to get it right the first time out.
