I'm Good, I'm Gone is released on June 2nd
Check out the video for the new single from the rising Scandinavian star set for the top.
The piano-driven chutzpah of I'm Good, I'm Gone lays a girl of dreams, drive, and occasional obsessiveness on the line. Lyrically, it's a tale of biding your time, getting your head down, working hard, and waiting for your time to come out on top.
With one foot in her own, self-fashioned realm of all things offbeat and otherworldly, and a toe or three in the pop camp, I'm Good, I'm Gone is yet another example of Lykke Li's incessant ability to weave together all manner of styles to create something joyfully uncomplicated and profoundly appealing, that withstands the test of repeated listens.
Check out the video for I'm Good, I'm Gone featuring two doppelgangers, a pair of female body builders and some fairly aggressive elders.
