"Girlish" has to be the most overused word to describe Swedish singer Li's debut album, 2008's sometimes saccharine, sometimes sparkling Youth Novels. But she's done some growing up since then. Her second album is a formidable collection of all-woman 21st-century torch songs that reverberate with vengeance and desolation. The arrangements are still stark and driven by syncopated handclaps and off-kilter drums, but now, voice creaking with heartache, she sounds like she's casting dark spells rather than serenading daydreams. The Shirelles-like "shoo-wop"s on "Unrequited Love" might be the most affecting sounds you'll hear all year.
