Epic Records/ Outsiders recording artist Oh Land is hitting the road this summer in the U.S. on Siaâ??s â??We are Bornâ? tour and Katy Perryâ??s “California Dreams 2011 Tour.” In addition Oh Land will take the stage worldwide for a string of festival performances including Glastonbury and Roskilde in support of her recently released self-titled debut album.The exciting summer tour announcement comes on the heels of Oh Landâ??s recent tour dates with Francis and the Lights, The Scissor Sisters, OMD and a string of twelve shows during SXSW. Critics across the board have praised her tech-savvy captivating live show. The New York Times wrote, â??Her beats pushed with syncopation rather than bombast; her voice was both elfin and strong, flicking her zigzagging melody lines across musicâ?¦ she performed while twirling merrily around stage, sharing the delight of pop craftsmanship that eludes formulas.â? Furthermore Billboard said, â??Bouncing from one bubbly pop gem to the next, Oh Land bewitched the crowd with her sensuous vocals and graceful dance moves, which echoed the effortless ambiance of her energetic music.â?Â
Oh Landâ??s self-titled debut album landed the Danish electro-pop songstress on many critics’ must-listen lists with her whimsical mix of layered vocal loops and electro-pop beats. Billboard named Oh Land an Artist to Watch in 2011 and raved, â??â?¦she might have made this yearâ??s first great left-field pop album.” Entertainment Weekly wrote, â??The debut glints and shimmers like a sonic set of fairy lights.â? While Spin described her music as, â??Bewitching art-pop that splits the difference between Bjorkâ??s avant-gardism and Robynâ??s dance-floor savvy.â?Â
Oh Landâ??s YouTube channel has racked up nearly 20 million views in the past few months, 10 million alone for her â??Sun of a Gunâ? music video. The Danish songstress has made recent late-night appearances on “Late Night with David Letterman,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “Last Call with Carson Daly” as well as a performance on Logoâ??s â??NewNowNext Awardsâ?Â, where she collected the Brink of Fame: Music Artist trophy.
Oh Landâ??s songs â??We Turn It Upâ? and â??White Nightsâ? are currently featured in Honda Civic and Hersheyâ??s Chocolate ad campaign running throughout the summer and beyond. www.ohlandmusic.com
