Grade: A
“Wounded Rhymes,” Lykke Li’s album that dropped this week, tests the boundaries of space and sound by creating cool, confident and danceable melodies that go beyond the mind of the listener. Li simultaneously exemplifies the poetic flow of the art of songwriting and allows the listener to become enveloped in the quirky world she creates for all who give the listen-worthy album a chance. The tracks of “Wounded Rhymes” beat like a heart, and it is so much more than just an album. It is sound personified. It is alive.
