Free Download: Nomi "Fun Girl"

Brooklyn-based artist Nomi traveled all over the world last year as part of DFA's Hercules & Love Affair, which is easily one of the most compelling new dance acts of 2008. You may remember her incredible debut with Antony on "You Belong," which invoked memories of a Yazoo-era Alison Moyet. Now, Nomi is getting ready to hit the charts on her own with the upcoming release of her digital EP "Borough Gypsy."

Nomi explains in an interview with the Nottingham Evening Post that it was Antony who introduced her to Andrew Butler of Hercules & Love Affair, which ultimately led to the collaboration. "Antony is just a genius. Antony can do anything," she says. "Anything that makes sense, and that comes from an honest emotional place, Antony can relate to. Antony says it's the spirit."

"Borough Gypsy" will feature a slew of interesting collaborations including a duet with the king of hip hop's underground Ill Bill. She is also working with musicians/producers Morgan Wiley and Andrew Raposo who are also known for their work with Hercules & Love Affair and DFA's Automato.

Check out a totally guilt-free download of Nomi's "Fun Girl," a gritty, midtempo track that is equally spooky and mesmerizing. She's on to something big for 2009.
