Free Download: Kerli "Walking On Air"
Estonian pop singer Kerli is one of the newest talents to emerge from the Merlin production studios, which is run by Bloodshy & Avant who are responsible for recent hits by Britney Spears and Kylie Minogue. But Kerli's music is nothing like the catchy pop fare people have come to expect from Merlin. It has a gothy twist that is best described as Björk meet Evanescence meets atmospheric electro pop.
Born in Elva, Estonia, a tiny, then-Soviet occupied town of 5,000 people in the forest, Kerli first hit the scene in 2002 when she appeared on Fizz Superstar, a Baltic talent competition equivalent to American Idol. Her success on the show was followed by appearances on Estonia's Eurolaul song contest and Sweden's famed Melodifestivalen in 2004. But Kerli's big break came in the summer of 2005 when Kerli was invited to perform for Island Def Jam chairman L.A. Reid. He was impressed by her performance and signed her to his label on the spot.
The first single taken from her big debut label debut album "Love Is Dead" is the spooky "Walking On Air," which is one of my favorite tracks on her album (note the similarity between the rhythm track on "Walking On Air" and Britney Spears' "Piece Of Me"). Download a totally guilt-free MP3 below for a limited time only (courtesy of Island Records). "Love Is Dead" will hit stores on June 10.

Okay I am sorry to say that you are not Kerli... Don't try to take the credit of someone else. My name is Kerli.. or that is my nickname. My name is actually Kirsten but my friend said that i sounded a bit like her, so that is what she calls me. No, I am NOT the kerli that they are talking about here.

Great song indeed. Nice blog you have.
I quoted you partially on my blog where I use Walking on Air in a video I made. I hope you appreciate. Best regards from The Netherlands.

Good song:)

I tried not to like this song, but it's actually pretty good. I like creepy songs.
Posted by: Yume at Aug 18, 2008 12:04:45 PM
Good song.
I hate this. What do I hate?
I can access this site, but cannot download the song from the link.
Blocked site.
Worse, no "right click" allowed at the public library. So, no "Ssave Target As..."
Worse, I can't download any programs like Limewire because those sites are blocked, and at the library it has this annoying c* that forbids downloading in certain inopportune conditions. The conditions are random.
I really hate it, because this song is a very good one.
