Kerli – goth pop princess channels Bjork and Amy Lee

Kerli Kõiv (pronounced “curly”) hails from Estonia and her debut album released yesterday showcases a new pop talent leaning to the contemporary side of goth (even more so than Evanescence’s Amy Lee). She sounds like Bjork which is no surprise as she says Bjork is her favourite singer of all time.

She’s like a poppier, more accessible version of the icelandic quirk queen and I really like the clip below, which is the title track from her album, “Love Is Dead”.

The pop-savvy blog Music Is The Heart Of Our Soul has the bonus track “Heal” available for download: more simple, catchy melody lines in the same vein as the other songs I’ve heard. I’ll be keeping an ear out for more of Kerli in future.

You can also get her EP – which includes “Love Is Dead” – from Music Is… at this location – thanks Vicki!
