Presenting... Oh Land.

Born in Denmark, electro-pop singer Oh Land

didn't plan on becoming a singer when she was little;

She started attending ballet school at age 16.

After suffering from a back injury two years later, she

decided to try out something new: making music.

“The reason I started to dance in the first place was because of the music,” she says. “I started writing and recording, set up a little home studio at my home in Denmark… I started recording anything that would make a sound in my apartment.”

After getting discovered in her home country,

she signed a record deal and released her first mini-album, Fauna,

which features two of my favorite tunes by her;

the weird-as-hell "Numb,"

and the bass-heavy "Heavy Eyes."

After performing at the SXSW festival in 2009,

Epic Records signed her and last month,

she released a five-song EP, which features the

crazy-brilliant "Rainbow" (sorry for the bad quality.)

Now, with her self-titled, full-length debut album dropping

NEXT TUESDAY,

which is backed by her latest single, "Sun Of A Gun,"

Oh Land is ready to conquer the world

(with the help of Pharrell Williams!)
