Though something felt a bit off, Lykke Li still managed to entertain at the 9:30 Club last night. In the middle of a song early on, she stopped her band and asked the crowd to put away their cameras and phones. A few songs later, she asked, “Are you sad about not being able to use your phones?” From some artists, this would seem like obnoxious mockery, but not Lykke Li—for her it was somehow just part of the charm. Her inability to hit the high notes in “Little Bit” was something else altogether, but aside from that misstep, last night’s show was pretty much everything the sold-out crowd was asking for.
