Danish electro artist MØ creates moody, melodic indie electro-pop with a sultry undertone, and her new single “Waste Of Time” is no different. MØ’s honeyed, howling vocals lend a mysterious, primal edge to the melodic, hip-hop-tinged beats and electronics of the track. Take a look and listen, below:

London electro-popper Charli XCX has just dropped another brand new video, and in true ‘True Romance’ fashion, it’s a dizzy whirlwind of hazy rave visuals and tons of tangled dark hair-flipping. “Take My Hand,” one of the more dancey, upbeat cuts off of Charli’s debut album, is about falling in love on E and getting “lost in the dark.”

In the video, we find our 90′s obsessed goth-pop babe dazed and wandering a hazy nightclub, a visual metaphor for the drunken stupor and fuzzy high of falling in love in the dance-floor. Take a look:

Like solo Gwen Stefani resurrected from the depths of Harajuku, British synth-pop star-in-the-making Tiny Dancer is all infectious punch and effortless cool, an artist with both a raw, frenetic artistry and a glimmering pop sheen. The petite pop princess creates sticky-sweet, eccentric ear candy that recalls the howling, primal quirk of 80′s new-wave, but with a modern electronic twist.

Her teasingly-titled debut EP, ‘Who Am I,’ produced by Wayne Wilkins, is just as mystical as it sounds to be, at least according to the two songs released off it so far. Title track and lead single “Who Am I?” is a twinkly slice of tribal electro pop, with a frantic chorus and rhythmic beats that bury deep into the brain.

And the second track, “Skies To Blue,” is an equally infectious song, but for different reasons. “Skies To Blue” is a sweeping, hopeful electro-pop ballad, with a heartfelt vocal delivery reminiscent of Niki and the Dove, and dazzling flourishes of glittery electronics.

Luckily, Tiny Dancer is just as interesting visually as her music. Case in point? Take a look at the quirky, ethereal, and impressive one-take music video for “Who Am I,” below:

A little bit whimsical, a little bit conceptual, the delightfully enigmatic music of Tiny Dancer is all mesmerizing. Visit Tiny Dancer on Facebook here to learn more.

Last Friday, I headed downtown to Pianos on the LES to catch rising synth-pop star Betty Who‘s May 3rd debut NYC performance and EP release party. I’d been introduced to the upbeat, melodic electro pop of the artist last year, so it was a fantastic opportunity to finally see Betty live and in person. And boy did she deliver.

The little venue was packed from wall to wall. Bloggers, industry types, and fans (called the Who Crew, apparently) jammed in, drinks and cameras in hand, to catch a glimpse of the blonde dynamo. The room was buzzing with excitement.

Once onstage, it was difficult if not impossible to come to grips that this was only the singer’s second show ever. Recalling the live spirit of another leading synth-pop lady, Robyn, Betty was a flurry of energy and seasoned stage presence onstage. Pouring on the sass heavily, she had the crowd wrapped around her finger throughout the show. She bantered, flirted, and danced, all swaying hips and beaming smiles as she bopped through her poppy electro.

Betty performed a rather generous set, considering her young discography, mostly featuring tracks off her recently-released, acclaimed debut EP, ‘The Movement,’ while peppering in some new songs and unreleased tracks to up the excitement. “Fire With Fire,” her first official release from late 2012, was an upbeat, pseudo-nostalgic crowd favorite. A lilting acoustic piano ballad was an emotional treat, spurring more than a few tears from the audience.

‘The Movement’ track “High Society” was another fun song live, with its bouncy, joyful melody and upbeat lyrics. But it was finale track, and current single, “Somebody Loves You,” that finished the job with a bang, its sweet, swelling 80′s beats prompting a full-blown dance party.

Uplifting and plain old fun, Betty put on a massively joyful and incredibly impressive performance, rife with the kind of stage presence, energy, and attitude most pop stars try to exude but never fully pull off. She’s a natural, that kid, and if this was truly one of her first live gigs, I can’t wait to catch her on a full scale tour. Visit Betty on Facebook here.

London dance-pop diva Katy B is back with a brand new track! “What Love Is Made Of” is a thumping, pumped-up 90′s house monster with throbbing beats, sexy sweet vocals, and an infectiously smooth throwback hook. Take a listen:

New Zealand electro-pop princess (and recent NZ X Factor judge) Ruby Frost recently hit the studio to record a stunning cover of Disclosure’s “White Noise.” With minimal electro-acoustic production, Ruby’s crystalline, earthy voice glazes through the track and over the synthy static ethereally. Emotive and raw, the cover is a unique, more tender take on the originally club-driven British garage-house track.

The “Damn! I Wish I Was Your Cover” feature was exclusively recorded for NZ dance radio station George FM. Take a look at the visual, below:

NYC electro hip-pop artist Moxiie is about to pop in a big way. The super fabulous white-haired jungle-pop artist just dropped the colorful video for her new single “Big.” A sonic mixture between Natalia Kills and Wynter Gordon, the track is a grimy electro banger, with dark synths and big, streetwise urban beats that lend an edgy vibe, Moxiie’s hypnotic vocals taking center stage.

Filmed in NYC in front of a super cool graffiti wall, take a look at the video below:

Swedish dance duo Rebecca and Fiona have released the fantastical video for their thumping new electro-trance single “Union,” the politically-charged second song released off their forthcoming sophomore album.

The dark, dreamlike track is recipient to an equally dark and dreamlike visual, with scenes involving the girls as geisha-by-way-of-Bjork during a trippy tea party, hazy kaleidoscopic go-go disco dancing, and a brutal, bloody robot beat-down. There’s a glamorously diabolical vibe to the video, with an early 80′s fantasy feel that perfectly aligns with the icy, distanced vocals and tranced-out production. Take a look:

Atmospheric electronic production, meteoric synths, and a haunting, folksy voice mark Australian electro-pop artist Phebe Starr as one to watch very closely. Especially so if her shimmering debut single, “Alone With You,” is any indication. The artist’s stirring vocals are powerful without being pushy, raw with emotion and rife with the intimacy that so few artists are generous enough to share with listeners.

“Alone With You” is a compelling slice of indie synth-pop, with rousing church organ chords and otherworldly synths that propel the artist’s emotive vocals into the stratosphere. Thumping kick drum loops help to ground the track.

The track has also been given the video treatment with an cosmic black and white clip in which Phebe stars as a lonely space princess stranded on a planet. It’s beautiful in its simplicity and cosmic scenery. Take a look:

If you’re in NYC and want to catch this engaging artist live, check her out at The Paper Box in Brooklyn tonight at 6 PM. For more information on Phebe Starr, visit her on Facebook here.

Mel Jade, the gorgeous electro-pop lady from Down Under, is back with another stunning track and music video. The recently-released “Not That Serious” is a seriously sexy dance-pop track, with dark synths and sparkly post-disco beats.

The video is gorgeous in its opulent simplicity, which is basically just Mel singing in an assortment of gloriously couture ensembles. The dark, hazy lighting and moody atmospherics cast a sensual tone over the clip, one which perfectly reflects the artist’s vocal delivery and lyrics like, “Candy on my lips, kiss me hard like you mean it.”

There’s an intimate feel to the song, one which is magnified in the video. Another perfect pop track from a perfect pop artist, take a look at “Not That Serious,” below:
