Lykke Li - I Never Learn

Review by Tom Fenwick

I Never Learn is by no means a failure - the highs are grand when they come - but it has a tendency towards bombast and shallow self indulgence.»

Swedish singer-songwriter Lykke Li (AKA Li Lykke Timotej Svensson Zachrisson) releases her third studio album entitled 'I Never Learn' through LL Recordings/ Atlantic Records. Co-produced by long-time collaborator Bjorn Yttling, Greg Kurstin and for the first time by Lykke herself, 'I Never Learn' is the third and final part in a trilogy. Taking inspiration from her LA surroundings where much of the record was recorded, Lykke commented, 'Every song on the album is a power ballad. Like one of those old radio stations. This is a slow dance; a slow burner.' With song titles like 'Never Gonna Love Again', 'Sleeping Alone' and 'Heart of Steel', I Never Learn was inspired by a recent heartbreak and Lykke's songwriting is all the more devastating for it.
