Lykke Li is taking a decidedly low-key approach to her  career. Though the 22-year-old Swedish singer already has an ambitious new album, “Youth Novel,” completed and released to rave reviews in her homeland, as well as loads of attention from major American labels, Lykke Lihas decided to introduce herself to America with an EP “Little Bit” on her own label, LL Recordings. “You have to take me bit by bit,” she says, with a laugh, calling from a tour stop in Manchester, England. “That’s the way I like to enjoy things. I think it’s hard for some people when a whole album’s thrown in their face. I want people to discover me, if they want to, with a small introduction.”
