Oh, Oh Land. It seems as though everything she touches becomes absolutely charming and entirely her own. Case in point: her cover of Fleet Foxes' breakthrough "White Winter Hymnal". Yes, the original oozes harmonizing magic and is hard to top, but Oh Land understands that. On her take, she wisely reimagines the song under the guise of her electro-meets-symphonic pop, adding that lovable dash of whimsy.
Watch a studio version and a live version of the Oh Land's cover below (both differ from one another, and the live version transitions into another song).
Hear the original "White Winter Hymnal" after the hop.

This is an artist for our generation. Amazing pop hooks with intricate electronics in the background is her signature recipe that makes for such great songs. I was able to see her live a few months ago... and have not stopped listening to her since then!
check out this live video!

Thanks for the video Kevin! Wolf & I is a great song. And you're so right, I love how she can make catchy (yet intricate) tunes! She and her music are stunning and I thought it was cool she did this Fleet Foxes cover :) The EP i got from itunes is great and it makes me excited for a full length to come out!!
