We haven’t really put our sights yet on the Greek music industry but that’s all to change with the ‘electro mermaid of the Mediterranean Sea’ Olga Kouklaki.
Olga, born in 1979 Athens, played the piano at a very young age, but really found her muse and passion in music, when she moved to Paris in 2001. Since then her passion has flourished which resulted in a first English record released in 2003 under the stage name ODD. Growing more into her passion and discovering the many talents she had within the music industry, she finally found her feet in 2008 with the help of Nouvelle Vague producer Marc Collin, who helped her with her debut album ”Getalife”.
And now four years later on, the girl has evolved even more, and released a new album ‘I U need’. The first single taken from the album, carries the same title and is dark pop electronica topped off with a deep and somber voice of Olga. If you like the likes of Little Boots, then you’ve found yourself a decent match with this Greek lady.
The new album is according to the singer more visual, more accessible and definitely more appealing. Well her new single definately has us excited. We can’t wait to hear more… Plus electro mermaids, especially from the Mediterranean are awesome!
Enjoy the video
‘I U Need’, the lead single and both the album are available via iTunes for download.
