Youth Novels is a debut album from a 21-year old Swedish singer, songwriter. The cute, almost Bjork-like voice on the record belongs to Lykke Li. Her songs are short, sweet and breezy. Unlike many girly pop singer out there, tho, Lykke also plays her own instruments. *GASP*

Youth Novels was produced by Bjorn Yttling, of the famous Peter, Bjorn, and John. Lykke lent her vocal during several live performances of PB&J's radio hit, "Young Folks". Her music struck me as a mixture of Yo La Tengo, Feist, and a wee bit of Architecture in Helsinki. I think many will agree that Youth Novels is just the right album to welcome the Spring season this year.
