Anyone like her? Relatively new artist from Sweden.

Two albums, Youth Novels (2008) and Wounded Rhymes (2011).

Have sorta kinda gotten into her recently,...caught her Unplugged performance on I believe MTV2 and saw her do a song or 2 on Last Call with Carson Daly,...also been watching/listening on Youtube.

Thinking about picking up both her albums when I go out to get the PJ20 soundtrack tomorrow.

Kind of an interesting sound with elements of indie rock, pop, folk, electronic...

Yeah....any fans?

    I've liked her since right after her first album came out. The two albums are good, but she was not that good live. I would not go see her again, but I will be buying future albums.

    Heard of her but never actually listened to her music until the week before PJ20. Really am digging it the more I listen and find all the elements interesting as well! Disappointing to hear she's not that good live. I have some friends going to a show in Chi and am interested to hear what they say as well!

    IMHO , her live shows have got better since I first saw her at Coachella several years ago. Saw her this year in Philadelphia and NYC. Both shows were incredible. Her voice was terrific , the back-up vocalists were great, and the band was tight. Love her albums. My favorite songs are "I Follow Rivers" , Youth Knows No Pain " , "Sadness is a Blessing" , "Breaking it up " , and "Jerome" .

    She gets a fair bit of air time on Aussie youth radio and I do dig some of her stuff. I wouldn't buy a whole album though. Cherry pick from Itunes...

    I'm good, I'm gone is probably my fav.

    Picked up Wounded Rhymes yesterday. Wow! This is a really great album. Very interesting listening.

    Went ahead and ordered her debut from Amazon, looking forward to it. Check her out people, this is good stuff!

    I've got her first album and have heard a song or two from the new one. (Should really listen to it sometime.)

    Only problem is, I love Youth Novels, I really do.. But I can't listen to it lately.. It makes me too :( . Especially my favourite song, Little Bit.
