The Girl From Estonia - Kerli

Sometimes you're walking through a store, and something you had no intention of buying leaps out and catches your eye.  That's what happened to me couple of year with Kerli's album Love Is Dead.

I freely admit that it was the cover art on the CD that first got my attention.  It's pretty cool, sort of folk art meets goth.  And better still, it was on sale!  I decided to take the plunge and buy it even though I'd never heard of her.  And I'm glad I did.

Love Is Dead starts out with the title track:

Don't worry, she gets less scary looking as the video goes on.

That song sets the tone for the whole album; it's kind of like goth Gaga.  And it works. 

As of this writing, Love Is Dead is the only album Kerli has released.  There are some videos she's made in a style she calls "bubble goth"- personally, I prefer her earlier style.
