Heart Shaped World
Some young Norwegian Chick who won Norway's got Talent or some other lame show at about 8 years old but her voice is incredible she did an amazing 'Gloomy Sunday' at like 7/8 on that show but I recently heard this minimal 'Wicked game' which I actually really like. Think she was on some America's got Talent thing recently going by YT so is probably getting 'The push' by the Illuminati pop Lizards.
