Tonight's Music Monday spotlight shines on Lykke Li (Cheers Will Woods for recommending her). Lykke Li is a Swedish singer who has a unique voice and style. She has been on the verge of stardom for the past two years. She Recorded a cover of the Kings of Leon song "Knocked Up" and one of her songs was played in the film Sorority Row. But with her song "Possibility" on the soundtrack to the next Twilight movie, New Moon, she will surely be thrusted into the mainstream.
My favorite song of hers is "I'm Good, I'm Gone". You can listen to an acoustic recording of the song HERE. You can also hear several of Lykke's songs on her Myspace Page.

Music Monday - Cinematic Orchestra
Cinematic Orchestra is a UK group whose style is described as a fusion between jazz improv and electronica. However, the song I enjoy the most, "To Build a Home", features a piano accompanied by a string quartet. "To Build a Home" has been played during a number of TV shows including Grey's Anatomy, Criminal Minds, Ugly Betty, and Without a Trace. The pianist and singer in "To Build a Home" is Canadian Patrick Watson. Pitchfork has a review of the album "Ma Fleur" that contains "To Build a Home".

Music Monday - Joanna Newsom
Every Monday I will mention an artist and song that I recently came across that I really enjoy.
First up is Joanna Newsom. Joanna is a talented harpist and pianist with a very unique voice. In particular, I really enjoy the song "Sprout and the Bean". If you recently watched the movie The Strangers then you will surely be creeped out when you hear the song. "Sprout and the Bean" was played on a vinyl record in the movie. The song fit perfectly with the scene and greatly added to the suspense of the moment. Click HERE to see the music video for Joanna Newsom's "Sprout and the Bean."
