Lykke Li - EYEYE

[PaperMadeMan]

I know a lot of fans wanted her to continue where “so sad so sexy” left off this album returns to her sounding more vulnerable and intimate which I am here for.

Happy Hurts and ü&I are the standout tracks for me the way she just layers her own vocals to create something haunting yet tender.

I loved the previous album but have welcomed this album and nod to her older material with open arms looking forward to seeing her live again.

 

[Humanracin]

I’m stuck on her Carousel and I don’t want to get off.

 

[Vasilios]

This is gorj.

 

[Trinu 3.0]

I was so into 5D until the line

Is there anywhere we could be 5D?​

And my brain decided to change it to

Is there anywhere we could be farting?​

 

[LykkeLi]

Can’t wait to listen to it. She never disappoints.

 

[luluthecat]

Great first play, must admit I was little disappointed that she wasn't building on So Sad sound, but this is rather beautiful.

 

[finito]

Slightly disappointed because I expected this to be some kind of pretentious indie experimental art project but I still like this!

 

[Jonathan27]

I think this actually lands at the perfect intersection between Wounded Rhymes and I Never Learn. As much as I like so sad so sexy it did feel like I Never Learn: B Sides outside of a couple songs. This is a far more exciting project and positions her in a space where it feels like there's more room to grow and refine, even if it isn't entirely different.

 

[Euphoria]

Dare I say this might actually be my favorite Lykke album? I’ve always loved her lower key songs like Unrequited Love, Sleeping Alone, I Never Learn, etc. and the album feels like her completely tapping into that energy. Listening to the album as a whole, it’s so beautiful - I understand where she was going with it all now.

Do I think she could have fleshed it out with a song or two more? Sure, it feels a bit short… But maybe less is more when she’s committed to such a specific vibe. It’s an upgrade from So Sad So Sexy for me.

 

[man.tis.shrimp]

This is gorgeous, but I think its brevity only works to its advantage. I can only mourn for so long.

She really is a special artist. No dips in quality in her entire discography.

 

[Pink Frost]

I love it especially Happy Hurts.

 

[Edu]

The perfect soundtrack for walking downtown on a cold sunday night, it made me feel a lot of things other than just the regular fear of getting mugged.

 

[Serg.]

Love, love, love! What a complete body of work.

 

[Euphoria]

You Won’t Go Away is murdering me.

 

[sesita]

Ü&I…whew! It’s pouring with emotion and the production is truly immaculate. When the song becomes a funhouse, a prism of endless vocals looping and wrapping in on each other, almost like reliving the last moments of your relationship over and over again, it’s breathtaking.

 

[Beautiful Child 2]

The album is so, so good. What a return to form after so sad, so shitty. Every track is it’s own perfectly crafted little wonder (pause to reflect on the superiority of short albums! All albums should be 9 tracks long!) and I’m surprised by how instant it is - the title/cover was giving obtuse and solemn but it’s actually all elegant, glittering pop. J’adore.

 

[DangerousHun]

The idea of anyone disliking, let alone hating, so sad, so sexy is genuinely baffling to me.

 

[2014]

so sad, so shitty.

Oh no you don't.

 

[digitalkaiser]

This is a very slow burning album, not sure how I feel about it right now. I think its very beautiful though!
So Sad, So Sexy is best in her career for me. Sorry about it!

 

[Trinu 3.0]

I want to live forever in the last 90 seconds of CAROUSEL
