Zero Gravity - Kerli

After a busy morning of volunteer work and a rather busy afternoon, the only thing to get me out of a sugar crash-induced funk is some bass-thumping pop music.  I'm only human, even though I'm wearing all black right now.  But that won't stop me from enjoining my favourite Estonian artist, Kerli, and her latest single, "Zero Gravity" in between loads of laundry.  Don't compare her to Gaga, because she's no carbon copy.  Her flavor of music takes an entirely different route.

"Zero Gravity" is pop music, plain and simple, but it has something unexpected lurking in the shadows that gives it a bang!  What is it?  The dubsteppy electronic beats in the chorus and verses that surprisingly work with Kerli's airy vocals.  It makes "Zero Gravity" danceable, and gives it some great potential to be remixed (hint, hint).  If only the Canadian clubs would play this instead of that god-awful "Payphone" garbage...we'd all be a lot happier.  But the proof is in the pudding, and a listen is needed to truly appreciate what we've got here.  Thank you, Estonia.
