Lykke Li & Woodkid – “Never Let You Down”
The soundtrack to Insurgent, the latest movie in the teenage sci-fi series Divergent, has already given us the churning M83/HAIM team-up “Holes In The Sky.” And now it’s given us another duet: Swedish siren Lykke Li and dour French post-folker Woodkid teaming up for the sweeping, ponderous “Never Let You Down.” Compared to “Holes In The Sky,” this one plays much more to both artists’ strengths. The two singers have actual chemistry, and they don’t seem like a movie studio’s music department just threw them on a song together. The song could’ve fit just fine on Lykke Li’s I Never Learn, and you can hear it below.
