Her musical style is a mix of jazz, cabaret and blues. In high school she was in a metal band called Nobody and later on also called LiviaGray
Her first record Late Night Heartbroken Blues was recorded and released late 2006 and spawned the singles Oh Boy and High On You. The sophomore album God Put A Rainbow In the Sky was released just months later in May 2007, the lead single from the album was the song I'm Sorry, He's Mine - a song about how she stole her best friend's boyfriend just because she wanted him over the night.
She continued to release new albums in record speed when her new album Songs of A Rag Doll was released October 19th 2007 and she had now released three albums within a year. She told Swedish Groove magazine that vacation for her meant going into the studio. The album came with the single Gotta Leave My Troubles Behind which had some success on the Swedish "tracks" charts where the people of Sweden vote for their favorite songs each week.
In 2007 she was also featured on the famous Swedish artist Lars Winnerbäcks lead single Om Du Lämnade Mig Nu from his album Daugava. The single became a huge hit and was #1 on the track charts as well as the singles charts and lead to national recognition for Miss Li. In 2008 she released the compilation album Best of 061122-071122 which included her best songs from the past three albums and some unreleased material including the song Good Morning.
In the summer of 2008 she sang the song Oh Boy on the popular Sing-A-Long show Allsång På Skansen that has over a million viewers every week. This lead to the single becoming far more popular than it was at its first release and it went to #8 on the Swedish singles charts.
After an uncharacteristically lengthy break, she released her 4th album Dancing the Whole Way Home in March 2009.

You make me feel like
Oh boy
You make me feel like
No boy
Can make me feel like you
I really really want you
You make me feel so
Oh boy
You really turned me
On boy
And I don't know what to do
I really really want to
Be with you
Like I was before
This distance
Between us makes me want you more
And I do mean
You are the cutest boy I've ever seen
And you've got that something
Something that I want
Something that I need
A dirty little young girls dream
I said that
Oh boy
You make me feel like
Oh boy
You make me feel like
No boy
Can make me feel like you
I really really want you
Oh boy
You make me feel so
Oh boy
You really turned me
On boy
And I don't know what to do
I really really wanna
Make me swirl
Like a tiny little pearl
I will patiently wait
'Til you're done
With this other girl
And I don't care
About your so damn good excuses
'Cause they've turned me on
They turned me strong,
Turned me on,
You know just how to light my fuses
I said
Oh boy
You make me feel like
Oh boy
You make me feel like
No boy
Can make me feel like you
I really really want you
Oh boy
You make me feel so

On boy
And I don't know what to do
I really really want you
You!

(Fade) Thanks to Madelén Sundh for these lyrics
Miss Li's song "Oh Boy" expresses the desire and attraction towards a particular boy. The chorus repeats the lines "Oh boy, you make me feel like / No boy can make me feel like you / I really really want you," emphasizing how unique the boy is to her, and that she is drawn to him in a way that surpasses any other boys. She describes him as the "cutest boy" she's ever seen, and admits that he has "got that something / Something that I want / Something that I need / A dirty little young girl's dream."
The lyrics also convey a sense of frustration and longing due to the distance between the singer and the boy. She mentions waiting patiently for him to be done with another girl, and not caring about his excuses because they only turn her on more. Despite the obstacles, her desire for the boy remains intense and she continues to crave his attention and affection.
Overall, "Oh Boy" is a straightforward expression of infatuation and attraction towards a specific person, with a focus on how that person makes the singer feel and how that feeling is unique in comparison to anyone else.

@bobair2
I like this video as it shows Miss Li having so much fun and the music is fun as well.
I am glad that she doesn't pattern herself after North American singers in her style or sound as I like a real woman musician and singer who has class and a sense of humor but can do it without being trashy.Miss Li has been a favorite of mine for a number of years now and she just keeps getting better as she goes.All the best to you Linda and keep well and always have fun.Oh girl you really...!
@olenilsen4660
Why would she pattern any American singers? She´s Swedish. They made ABBA... Anywhoo - this girl is a real gem all on her own!!!!
@gpapa7395
I saw a loop of this video on M0ar years ago loved it and searched for it forever... loop was only a snippet so I did t have much to go on other then “oh boy” and girl sings in elevator. Eventually forgot about it... fast forward to a week ago when I hear miss li’s “take a shower” on Pandora so I start to listen and watch her videos and then today THIS ONE POPS UP OUT OF THE BLUE!!! I was just like Oh my god... no way... Funny how things happen that way.
