Watch: Love Me Like I’m Not Made of Stone.
“I Never Learn is for the times when heartbreak is so life-affirming that you want to share the feeling with the world.”
Lykke Li’s new album is fresh off the heals of the most devasting break-up that the 28 year old has gone through. Sending her into a life crisis of sorts, Li finds solace in her raw and magic music. This new album is more polished than her previous album, more radio ready. But it’s heartbreaking and personal. “Can I get used to/ Can I forget you/ Will I get used to sleeping alone?” Lykke Li’s first two albums, Youth Novels and Wounded Rhymes, hinted that could choose to follow the pop star beam of light, but I Never Learn shows that she’s not interested in pursuing that potential. In fact, she’s consciously rejecting it.
