I first learned about Kerli from @jayemsee (thanks!). I am somewhat known for having an obsession with these little creepy dolls known as Blythes. There is a small but creative community who are passionate about customizing these dolls into some pretty amazing and artistic wonders.
When I came across a behind the scenes video for Kerli’s “Walking on Air”, I was instantly hooked. I highly recommended seeing how it was made.

I love the metaphor in this video. A puppet strings finally get released and it is set free.
Love is Dead Video
The “Love is Dead” video starts off a bit creepy but the subtle transitions make it hard to turn away.
Bio From LAST.FM
Kerli Kõiv, better known by her stage name, Kerli (born February 7, 1987), is an Estonian pop musician who is best-known for her appearance in the 2004 Eurolaul competition. In the event, she performed the song “Beautiful Inside” and accumulated 3,638 points overall in the judging and televoting processes. Her total points would only allow her to finish in 2nd place, however, with Neiokõsõ winning the event. Kerli also competed in the 2003 Swedish Melodifestivalen, finishing 7th in the second semi-final.

Awesome. I love the accent.
I’m gonna assume you already know Imogen Heap, but if not you should check her out.

the whole album is pretty decent. oddly enough – one of her songs is featured in EA’s Burnout: Paradise installment.
the behind the scenes is a great little insight into what went into it. the puppet face mapping was great.

I actually love the first song, even though I hate to admit it. It just actually has a different feel than most pop songs.
