Mark and Stuart present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast.

Today, they are joined by Swedish indie-pop singer and songwriter Lykke Li, who shares her ‘First, Last and Everything’ - that’s her first record, the most recent one she's enjoyed and the record that means ‘everything’ to her. She also talks about the announcement of her forthcoming new album 'The Afterparty' and new single.

Lykke Li released her debut album, 'Youth Novels', in 2008. The Afterparty, which will be released in May, will be her sixth studio album.

Also on the show... long-running feature ‘The Chain’, which gives listeners the chance to pick a track that links in some way to the last. The list now contains over 8700 songs.

With a selection of music old and new to get the weekend started.
