Keren Ann's new album 101, her first record in four years, marks a new direction for the singer-songwriter. Whereas her previous records stuck to sad, starkly arranged ballads, 101 is comparatively upbeat and full of delicate melody and rich sonic detail. The album won't be on sale until March 22nd, but you can stream the entire record here now.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
