The Swedish chanteuse Lykke Li grabbed some early attention for her forthcoming LP Wounded Rhymes with "Get Some", an intense little number where her lyrics take the role of a lusty lady of the evening. (Read my post and listen to "Get Some" here.) Now with the March 1 street date approaching, the listening public is graced with another gift in "I Follow Rivers". The sultry track is flecked with idiosyncratic percussion and a rhythm suited for belly dancing. She coos seductively throughout, pledging to follow her affections to the depths of the ocean. It is another aggressive number with sensual overtones from a woman who has locked into a powerful voice for her upcoming release. As a bonus, a remix featuring house piano and a driven tempo is given below as well. Although the sped-up mix takes the seduction out of her voice, the result has her sounding a lot like Stevie Nicks. Depending on who you are, that might be a good thing.
