Additional recording sessions took place at Glenwood Place Studios in Burbank, California, and at Electric Lady Studios and Platinum Sound Studios in New York City. Retreating to a self-imposed exile in Hawaii in 2009, he recorded the album at Honolulu's Avex Recording Studio in a communal environment involving numerous contributing musicians. It was released by Def Jam Recordings and Roc-A-Fella Records on November 22, 2010, following a period of public controversy for West. That was more a visual concept than a story, kind of like a hypnotic tape.My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is the fifth studio album by American rapper and producer Kanye West. I love people with convictions who can just stare into a camera and be talking obsessively about religion or something. I was watching a lot of, like, sect tapes. That’s just about how women are seen as the siren. There are a lot of real stories in it.Ĭan you explain the conceit behind the “Get Some” video? The song has gotten a lot of attention, especially for its lyrics, “I’m your prostitute, you’re gonna get some.”
I put a lot into that record, so I feel if I were to explain it further that would be a bit too much, even for me. How could I ever tell? Do you want, like, a name and a number? You know. This and your previous record seem to, thematically, be about failed relationships. For me, it’s about the actual: this girl that is hopelessly in love. I mean, they made me watch the second one, but that was before it was all done. Have you actually seen the Twilight movies? It’s like you sneak in something strange, and it’s very rewarding. He gave the whole staff … nobody knew what it was. It’s like having space cookies at a lecture. What’s really funny is that it is mainstream. What was the appeal of contributing to the New Moon soundtrack? If I can do something with somebody that I can learn something from, then yes. I’m definitely exploring that world between a short film and a visual story. The latest one I shot, for “Sadness Is a Blessing,” was like a film scene with Stellan Skarsgård in it. It’s the way that I do my videos, if you can even call them videos. I’ve always been drawn to cinematic experiences and that approach to music. In interviews, you tend to reference a lot of filmmakers as inspirations - Jodorowsky, Cassavetes, Antonioni …. He was like, “Lykke Li, let’s stay in touch.” I’m going to keep haunting him. I finally did! I got invited to his art show and got a chance to meet him. Tell me about meeting David Lynch while you were in L.A. Nobody in my band wanted it - we just kept passing the iPad around.
Somebody gave me an iPad the other day, and I didn’t know what to do with it. I’m the least electronic person - I carry books around. I can still hear people talk about me in that way.
Which is interesting, because people initially pegged you as an electronic musician. How can I make it vibrant and not use computers and not use bullshit? I think what I strive for is how I can make a great song feel a lot. I’m in love with, like, the echo chamber. There’s a definite L.A.–Phil Spector sound on your album. But there are also millions of people who came with a dream and never made it. There are people with perfect teeth and big smiles and good tans. is probably the most mysterious, craziest, psychedelic place on earth. You said you came west for the warmth, but much of Wounded Rhymes is dark. You visited the California desert before writing and recording this album in Los Angeles.

(Tonight you’ll hear her song “I Follow Rivers” covered on Glee.) When Vulture phoned her up between stops on the tour, she answered, “Red-light district!” for no reason, before talking about stalking David Lynch, her deep connection to Twilight, and how she’s going to get rid of her free iPad. In between, the Swede was sampled by Drake and featured (with Kanye West) on N.A.S.A.’s “Gifted.” Now the 25-year-old is in the middle of a world tour (she hits the States in May) to support her recently released sophomore record, the critically lauded Wounded Rhymes. She then became a teen curiosity in 2009 when her dirgelike love song “Possibility” appeared in The Twilight Saga: New Moon. In 2007, Lykke Li (pronounced “LUKE-ee LEE”) became a blogger sensation as the chirpy-voiced pixie behind “Little Bit” off her debut album, Youth Novels.
