Our first ever recommendation will be Sliimy. Yes. Sliimy with double the "i". If you're a BIG fan of pop, but most importantly indie pop, you'll most likely ADORE him. If you're not into it, we suggest you stop reading.
We first came across this singer, while reading an article on one of our all-time favorite blogs: Perez Hilton's. He had posted a video, in which Sliimy was doing a praise-worthy cover of "Womanizer", originally performed and made famous by Britney Spears. The simplicity and the harmonious sounds attracted us into wanting to find out more.
This amazing 20 year-old artist hails from Saint-Etienne, France, and sounds just as good live, if not even better. His voice is quite pitchy, almost the one of a woman, but that just makes him even more unique. His songs are all so different and yet it seems like they're related in some way, as if he were telling a story. His music makes for amazing pick-me-up songs or simply songs you could listen to to chill. You get blues, pop, folk, ska, reggae, electronica in just the right amounts.
At first he made us think of Mika and Adele, but he's just pure Sliimy. You shouldn't compare. He's earned that right. He's happiness, he's rainbow, he's utopian, he's ugh! PERFECTION! Makes the heart go thumping like crazy!
Even though he does have some deliciously put together songs on his website, he has yet to release a complete album.
On his myspace you can find 5 songs, which are easily downloadable for free, if you follow the steps Eni showed you or you can buy his new single "Wake Up" on iTunes. This single is only available as a preview on myspace, but it is well worth the money. So go get it!
We adore his fun colorful style (aw! the skinny jeans and the cardis, not to mention the glasses and the curly hair just make us go: "Hands down! Sliimy is the definition of scrumptious-geek pop), but most importantly we really enjoy his work as a musician.
Here is the video for Sliimy's version of "Womanizer". Enjoy the yumminess.

I'm back!!! You know you missed me! When I first heard Britney’s womanizer, I didn't like it at all... then I heard all the covers and I loved them! This one, not my favorite, but still really good and definitely indie!!!
