No, she's not pregnant (see what I did there, funny.), Lykke Li has taken on the epic Kings of Leon track Knocked Up with a ridiculous amount of success. It's not a cover, it's not a remix, there are parts of her singing, parts of Caleb singing, even the two of them simultaneously. It maintains all the essential parts of the original with it's bass heavy, and catchy little epic ditty but with Li's sweeter, more delicate voice and an infusion of random bleeps and lo-fi production all over the show, the cover brings a whole new level to the song that will hopefully continue to lift her status and bring her to even wider recognition.
It will be the featured B Side to Kings upcoming single Use Somebody and will be released on December 8th. I simply cannot wait to get my hands on this but for the moment, you can only hear it through Listen Again on BBC iPlayer. Many thanks to Pete for giving me the heads up on this, follow this link and skip to 1hr45. And please, take the time to listent o this if you've heard the original, it is simply stunning.
