You'll Be The Rhythm, And I'll Be The Beat

Lykke Li's album Youth Novels drops this Tuesday.

I highly recommend it. Just listen to the intro track:

I had never heard it before... I love her.

And for a bonus, here's her performing "Window Blues,"

the record that anchors the album, at SXSW:

I found this Lupe clip on Busy's Blog. Having a little fun with "Hi Hater"...

I never knew him that well, but seeing stuff like that makes me miss working on artist projects. And I initially saw this next one months ago, but watching Lupe get his gold plaque at Atlantic makes me reminisce a little...

Lastly, Epic had a showcase for new Australian artist Lenka on Thursday.

It was at Dylan's Candy Bar, on my birthday - amazing.

Lenka is innocent and hot at the same time, and I like the music a lot.

Not my fave track, but maybe you've heard "The Show" in this Old Navy ad?:

If you go to her Myspace page, listen to "Trouble Is A Friend."
