Från en utav mina favoritartister som förövrigt var med på New Moon soundtracket!
Lykke Li – Little Bit
Jag kommer ihåg hur jag ville ha Hana Pestle’s ”Need” till New Moon och var så otroligt besviken när jag hörde att Lykke Li skulle bidra med en sång istället, men nu – efter att ha sett filmen kan jag bara konstatera att den passade perfekt, bland annat hur sången växer till när Bella drömmer och väcker Charlie med sitt skrikande.
Och nu är musikvideon här… :)
Här är en liten snutt av vad Lykke Li berättar om låten Possibility som kommer att vara med på New Moon: Soundtrack!
Earlier this week the New Moon Soundtrack was finally announced in its entirety. Each song on the album
is exclusive to the soundtrack, including a song by Lykke Li called ‘Possibility’.
The Swedish popstar has been talking about her contributing track, which she wrote after watching an advance screening of the movie.
“It’s true, I’m on the new New Moon Soundtrack with a completely new and exclusive song called ‘Possibility’. I got to see it when I was in LA for a show and an idea immediately rose to my mind… It would take a few weeks before I even had a chance to sit down by a piano but then suddenly I wrote it while having a few days off in Sweden just coming out of a fever. I’m really proud of it and hope you will love it and need it. It’s kind of hard talking about it, cause it’s so open and obvious so my best tip is to actually listen to it when you get a chance…. Lay down on a bed and just listen my love.”
Och ni måste hålla med mig, visst blir man grymt stolt att en Svensk är med på New Moon: Soundtrack!?
Swedish pop singer Lykke Li is lucky enough to get track four on the CD with her song “Possibility.” Be jealous of her: she admitted on her Myspace blog that she like director Chris Weitz’s brother Paul already got to see a cut of “New Moon” to inspire her to write a track for the album.Like all the artists featured on the album, the song she recorded was unique to the film. But unlike the more established bands like The Killers and Bon Iver, Lykke has only been in the industry for about two years. Through sites like Myspace and YouTube, Lykke built up an audience in the United States when she made her second &8212; this time successful — trip across the Atlantic.Last year MTV’s Kurt Loder did a “Rising Star” feature on Lykke Li. Lykke, then 22, said it was thanks to her popularity on Youtube that she had a chance to return to the US. “That’s what got me here. Like, I have an audience before I have a record.”
Lykke had made her first trip to overseas when she was 19, and she said she spent her time living in a coacroach-infested apartment in Brooklyn, learning English through improv classes and breaking out her singing career at open mic nights.
When her visa expired, she returned home to Stockholm where her father set her up with his old friend Björn Yttling of Peter Björn and John fame.
“He produced a lot of indie people — ‘I hate myself’ kind of music,” she said of her initial response to working with Björn. “I didn’t know about Peter Björn and John. But I needed somebody to record me. And then we met, and it was a perfect match.”
Together they released her first EP, Little Bit, which through the Internet became a hit. She has since released her first full length album, Youth Novels, in 2008. Yesterday, she wrote a post on Myspace about signing on for the “NM” soundtrack.
“I’m really proud of it and hope you will love it and need it. It’s kind of hard talking about it, cause it’s so open and obvious so my best tip is to actually listen to it when you get a chance. Lay down on a bed and just listen my love,” she said on her blog. “Love is a serious matter when it’s real. It’s blood and it’s death. But it’s also life, ain’t no other way around it.”
