Upon a rolling wave of buzzing beats and percussion pitched halfway between the Burundi borrowings of Bow Wow Wow and Gene Krupa’s “Sing Sing Sing,” comes indie-pop nymph Lykke Li with “Get Some.”
Except forget about that nymph bit. Gone is the coy fragility that marked 2008’s Youth Novels, Here the Swedish chanteuse accesses her inner Pam Grier — sounding sassy, street and positively “Don’t fuck with me fellas!”
like a shotgun
needs an outcome
I’m your prostitute,
You ‘gon get some
It’s all capped off with a strong and sticky chorus that echoes the cod-exoticism on N’awlins chestnut “Iko Iko.” And it ends too damn soon.
It’s perfect.
