We literally can't get enough of Swedish ethereal goddess Lykke Li these days and our fandom might just have reached boiling point with the release of the stunning video for 'Sadness is a Blessing'. The clip directed by Tarik Saleh (also responsible for 'I Follow Rivers') and starring Swedish acting legend Stellan Skarsgård shows our girl cathartically dancing her pain away after one-too many shots in a restaurant filled with peering onlookers. Skarsgård plays the father urging her to stop and the entire video beautifully matches the song's "wounded rhymes make silent cries tonight" line.

Check out our glowing live review Of Li's Tripod show in the current issue of Hot Press.
