Watch: Lykke Li’s First Video, First Song Off New LP – “Love Me Like I’m Not Made of Stone’

Today Lykke Li released the first video for a song off her upcoming album, I Never Learn, due out May 6, 2014.

The video was directed by Tarik Saleh and the song is “Love Me Like I’m Not Made of Stone.”

Lykke Li says about the album (via Pitchfork):

Every song on the album is a power ballad. Like one of those old radio stations. This is a slow dance; a slow burner.
I wrote [“No Rest for the Wicked”] in Sweden when I was packing up my shit, and I’d just gotten out of a relationship and it was a horrible time. I just had the hurt, shame, sadness, guilt, longing. In the verse, I’m referring to myself pleading guilty but I’m referring to all of us.
