Kina Grannis is a Japanese/American singer/songwriter who won the Doritos Crash the Super Bowl contest in 2007. I mentioned her in February 2011.

Then, about three months ago, she had a massive viral hit music video for "In Your Arms", off her debut album, Stairwells, with over 5.5 million views as of this writing. If you haven't seen the video, get this: they used 288,000 jelly beans and took 22 months to put together. Talk about commitment.

On the strength of viral video, she's been after selling out dates (sounds familiar, Gotye?) in the UK and S/E Asia and Australia.

Kina Grannis returns to the US this April, below are her confirmed headlining tour dates:

PEPPER pepperofficial.com Not a whole lot of details given, other than that she just signed to Dirtee Stank Records. She also is based out of London. You can preview "Happy Girl" (Acoustic) via Soundcloud.

AMANDA MAIR facebook.com/amandamairofficial Remember Amanda Mair? Since I last mentioned her, she finally released her debut album (out on Sweden's Labrador Records on February 15th). She's not quite legal, she's 17 years old now. I have to say, I do really like Swedish pop music, and what I've heard of Mair, she's good. Check out the music video for "Sense" on Youtube . UPDATE: Her album will be released internationally on June 5th, 2012.

ANGELINA LAVO angelinalavo.com From Russia, with love… I've always wanted to start with that… although in her biography , she's been living in New York as of 2009. She unveiled her Circus Act in late 2011, which I did look at; it sounds very hip-hoppy. Lavo thinks her single is easily accessible: "My EP is easy-going & fun because everyone has terrible, tough situations, but my music puts all of that away. "

KITTY CLEMENTINE kittyclementine.com Kitty Clementine is from Sally's town, Sydney, Australia. Her self-titled album is coming out March 6th, 2012, via Clumpty Records (New Power Media). You can download a preview track, "Blow That Horn", at Soundcloud . Her biography said that she comes from Sydney's "warehouses and speakeasies" singing jazz ballads, baroque aria, and even screaming noise; all sounding very artsy and poetic… which is hard to place her music.
