KINA GRANNIS

Kina Grannis is a Japanese/American singer/songwriter who won the
Doritos Crash the Super Bowl contest in 2007. I mentioned her in
February 2011.

Then, about three months ago, she had a massive viral hit music video
for "In Your Arms", off her debut album, Stairwells, with over 5.5
million views as of this writing. If you haven't seen the video, get
this: they used 288,000 jelly beans and took 22 months to put
together. Talk about commitment.

On the strength of viral video, she's been after selling out dates
(sounds familiar, Gotye?) in the UK and S/E Asia and Australia.

Dirtee Stank Records. She also is based out of London.

AMANDA MAIR

Remember Amanda Mair? Since I last mentioned her, she finally released
her debut album (out on Sweden's Labrador Records on February 15th).
She's not quite legal, she's 17 years old now.

I have to say, I do really like Swedish pop music, and what I've heard
of Mair, she's good. Check out the music video for "Sense" on
Youtube .

ANGELINA LAVO

From Russia, with love… I've always wanted to start with that…
although in her biography , she's been living in New York as of 2009.

She unveiled her Circus Act in late 2011, which I did look at; it
sounds very hip-hoppy.

Lavo thinks her single is easily accessible: "My EP is easy-going &
fun because everyone has terrible, tough situations, but my music puts
all of that away. "

KITTY CLEMENTINE

Kitty Clementine is from Sally's town, Sydney, Australia. Her self-
titled album is coming out March 6th, 2012, via Clumpty Records (New
Power Media). You can download a preview track, "Blow That Horn", at
Soundcloud .

Her biography said that she comes from Sydney's "warehouses and
speakeasies" singing jazz ballads, baroque aria, and even screaming
noise; all sounding very artsy and poetic… which is hard to place her
music.
