Video Of The Week: Oh Land

Oh Land - White Nights

   Kicking off our newest installment, Oh Land, the Danish beauty and Shattered Vinyl favourite, is our first Video of the Week with the latest off her breakthrough self-titled debut, 'White Nights.' An imaginative new video for the charming and colourful single 'White Nights' is a visual wonderland full over choreographed dance numbers, numerous settings, and more costume changes than Lady Gaga. Building on 'White Nights' dreamy lyrical references, the video gives life to the quirky Oh Land with a lagoon of sparkly gold faced girls to tribal dances the creativity is impressive as the beautifully shot video makes for a sensory overload. The uber-talented Oh Land just keeps making us fall in love with her over and over again!

Record Review: Oh Land

Oh Land - Oh Land   4/5

   Danish beauty Oh Land has emerged onto the music scene with plenty of buzz including February's Artist to Watch, numerous performances at this year's SXSW festival and the red hot single in 'Sun Of A Gun' in the UK. Though 'Sun Of A Gun' may suggest Oh Land to be just another pop star,  it appears to be more of a bait and switch, as for even her hit single eludes to quirkier elements that make Oh Land so unique.

   Admittedly discovering Oh Land was a happy accident, while cruising Youtube, happening upon the video for Oh Land's lead single 'Sun of a Gun' but that was all it took to be hooked. A disciplined former ballet dancer educated with the Royal Danish and Royal Swedish ballet coupled with her upbringing in a creative family have left an undeniable imprint on Oh Land's music.

Recently named to BBC's Sounds of 2011, and featured vocals on the Gorillaz's single 'Doncamatic', Daley is worth our attention. Offering his current single 'Rainy Day' as a free download on Myspace, his silky smooth vocals dripping with soul are something to marvel, you don't come across crooners like this too often. Keep your eyes peeled because there is more to come from this dynamic singer-songwriter.
