Lykke Li shared a beautiful, quite intimate musical moment on her Instagram page over the weekend.

The singer posted three clips of herself and Jeff Bhasker, the Grammy Award-winning producer and songwriter who's collaborated multiple times with Kanye West, serenading their baby son Dion.

The couple sang a soulful rendition of the Righteous Brothers' '60s classic "Unchained Melody" over a series of three short clips, entitled "ALBUQUERQUE WEDDING SINGERS ( REHEARSAL )".

As Pigeons and Planes points out, Lykke Li is no stranger to "Unchained Melody", having covered the song multiple times on tour and for Australian radio station Triple J.

Watch below.


The Swedish singer recently launched a new supergroup Liv (Swedish for "life"), with Bhasker, Miike Snow members Andrew Wyatt and Pontus Winnberg, musician Jonathan Wilson, and Warpaint drummer Stella Mozgawa; performing tracks described as "the love child of ABBA and Fleetwood Mac".
