I Never Learn is both spartan and expansive; it's Li’s most ambitious and shortest album, at nine songs and 33 minutes. This is widescreen drama meant to hit with direct and precise impact, so the operative term for advance singles No Rest For the Wicked and Love Me Like I’m Not Made of Stone has been Spector-esque. A chorus of Lykke Li's sing the title of Never Gonna Love Again, whereas the gospel choir does the same with Heart of Steel, either taunts or acceptance of a fate where grand, sweeping sulks are just a natural and welcome state of being.
Swedish alternative-pop singer/songwriter Lykke Li brilliantly captures heartbreak on her third studio album, I Never Learn. Love and heartbreak are a universal topic, regardless of what place or walk of life you come from. Crafting the perfect or near-perfect heartbreak album, then, shouldn’t be a difficult task. Unfortunately, that is not the case, as making a truly distinct, thoughtfully crafted breakup album requires skill. Swedish alternative-pop singer Lykke Li luckily possesses the talents to craft that caliber of album, doing so exceptionally on I Never Learn

This album, "I Never Learn", is another testament to how much great, great music this relatively new artist churns out! May she howl about broken dreams for a very long time. While others wait for the return of Britney Spears, I am so glad that there are really talented and substantial artists like Lykke Li making music - for people with some good taste in music - to relish. 0 of 0 users found this helpful.
Here, as on any Lykke Li record, the presentation of Li's vocals is the first major site of status quo agitation. The music backing her is often as loud as, if not louder than, her singing, and when vocals take precedent, they're dripping with reverb and echoes that keep them from demanding full attention. Close listening is encouraged and will be rewarded - Li is a poetic, insightful songwriter - but it's a striking first impression of a singer not striving for the spotlight. Tied into this repositioning of pop vocals is I Never Learn's refusal to sound anthemic
