Music Review // Oh Land // Oh Land

i have been completely and utterly obsessed with Oh Land.  she’s has a soulful, clear voice and sings over electropop beats.  her style is similar to Lykke Li, which is funny because they’re both Scandinavian (Oh Land is Danish, Lykke Li is Swedish).  what is with that area and their delicious electropop?  i love it.  she was a professional ballet dancer but switched over to music after an injury.  you can definitely hear the grace and pain in her songs.  she said sorry but you're never gonna dance again but my feet just keeps me moving trying to break the chain.  she has a chic style in her videos with a little darkness and looks like an indie Heidi Klum.  i like that feel, that European movies and music can manage a little melancholy without becoming emo.  when i listen to her, i want to swirl around and wave my arms around.  i can listen to her album on repeat for hours.  some of her songs are slow, but her voice carries her through those.  my favorite songs are Sun of a Gun, Wolf & I, White Nights and Perfection.

here's a video of her doing Sun of a Gun live.
