Estonian singer/songwriter Kerli takes a chameleonic approach to her music, borrowing from various sonic styles while maintaining a sharp, pop-centric focus. On her breakthrough 2008 debut, Love Is Dead, she blended goth rock and anthemic alt-pop, scoring a pair of modest mainstream hits before a shimmering electronic dance makeover heralded 2013's Utopia EP. Scoring a trio of U.S. dance hits, she continued to incorporate electronic elements, finding a balance between worlds on her official sophomore LP, 2019's Shadow Works.
