Oh Land Releases ‘Rainbow’ Video, Tours with Sia and Katy Perry

    Danish-born, New York-based singer/songwriter/producer Oh Land just released the simple, yet stunning video for her song “Rainbow,” easily one of my favorite tracks off of the album. One of my ‘Ones To Watch in 2011,’ Oh Land is a former dancer turned singer/songwriter who released her self titled debut U.S. album last March. The album peaked at #184 here in America, which is pretty freakin’ awesome, considering that she’s virtually unknown here. A follow up to her debut album, Fauna, sophomore release Oh Land features production from Dan Carey (La Roux, Christina Aguilera), Dave McCracken (Shakira, Beyonce), Lester Mendez (Enrique Iglesias, Jessica Simpson) and Alexis Smith. Oh Land made her U.S. television debut on March 2nd, performing on The Late Show with David Letterman, singing her first international single, the eerily-catchy “Sun Of A Gun.”

    The video for “Rainbow” features a glitter-faced Claudia Schiffer Oh Land (AKA Nanna Øland Fabricius) singing around a glittery frame of some sort against a black background. The video, while mostly in color, does fade into sepia/black & white from time to time creating a cool visual.

    Oh Land is currently on tour in Europe, where she’ll play Glastonbury in the UK before heading off to Switzerland. She’ll be back in America next month, opening for Aussie singer/songwriter Sia, on tour promoting her latest album, We Are Born. Oh Land has also been invited to join Katy Perry on select U.S. dates of her California Dreams Tour in August, following Perry overseas to perform during the UK and Ireland leg of our tour.
