Embach liked a post in a topic by Beauty King in Lykke Li
If those two are your favorite songs, I'd definitely recommend listening to their respective albums, Wounded Rhymes and I Never Learn. Lots more in the same style on each one.
As for getting into the rest of her discography, I'd say continue with the singles on her debut album, Youth Novels, then do the rest of the album, if those appealed to you.
The later parts of her discography are tougher to crack. So Sad, So Sexy is a bit more commercial and conventional and its accompanying Still Sad, Still Sexy EP doesn't add a whole lot to the experience. Her latest album, Eyeye, is very heavy, sonically spare and vocally soft. Can be a bit tough to enjoy, as it's not nearly as melodically driven and serves more as a tonal work.

I’m gna be honest I had an irrational dislike for the swiftologist at first because of his face (it’s not even him being ugly, there are a lot of ugly people I actually like. I just instinctively did not agree with his face) but his god awful takes on music and pop culture gave me a valid reason to dislike him, which made me feel like a better person

Two songs written for the Godfather of Harlem Season 4 soundtrack were registered. Season 4 premieres sometime during spring of 2025, so the soundtrack should drop around then.

Incorrect, actually. Those songs leaked because Rick Nowels' personal website was not secure. He uploaded dozens of songs from various artists onto a server linked to his website, for his personal use, but it was not password protected. It wasn't linked directly on his site, but if you poked around in the source code a bit, you could easily find a link to the file-hosting area of the site. It was trivial to do; five minutes of work, if that. Once you were there, it was basically just a detailed list of downloadable files sorted by year. He eventually went in and did some individual password protection of files for only two artists: Lykke Li and Lana. The damage had already been done by the time that happened, though, as people had known about this security flaw for months prior and the files had been heavily spread.
With regard to the rest of your post, though, it's mostly correct, but it misses the context that her email accounts were compromised around the same time as the laptop hack and material from both circulated heavily. As far as I'm aware, we have the vast majority of what was found by the hackers from both of those sources and most of what's left is just barely distinct alternate versions and demos.
Edit: Also, the theft of her laptop in the 2020s hasn't resulted in any leaked material. It wasn't stolen to get any music files, but rather because it was left in a car and it had intrinsic value. We know for a fact that she was able to remotely wipe it, too.

Untouched files will have intact metadata, which can reveal information not previously known. For example, certain producers have used particular exporter versions when bouncing a file, so all their songs with Lana might have the same metadata, meaning that if we know a song is confirmed to be produced by one producer and a song with an unknown producer has the same metadata, it can potentially tell us the unknown song's producer is the same person. Exporter versions can also help us approximate the dates when songs were made. There's a lot of data to be gleaned.
There can also be quality differences. Back in the day, songs often leaked through Youtube or Soundcloud, so the files were compressed and all rips from the streaming platform would be of worse quality than the original file.

I quite agree. About a quarter of it seems kind of plausible, but the rest just sits a little wrong.
