THE FIRST TIME WITH... SERIES 26 - 4. LYKKE LI (320kbs-m4a/130mb/57mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 17th July 2022

Matt Everitt chats to Lykke Li about the pivotal moments and songs that have shaped her, with tracks from Nina Simone and Brian Eno plus music from her latest album 'Eyeye'.

Lykke's career over the course of five albums has traversed, folk, pop, electronica, R&B and with her latest record, soulful, sonic exploration. Whether collaborating with David Lynch or covering Drake, she brings her own, intensely personal voice to everything she does. In this episode, she talks about her tentative journey into a musical life, how a terrible experience at a New York open mic night became a defining moment, and how her explorations into experimental forms of therapy have informed both her and her latest record.
