Melody Musing: Marit Larsen

Marit Larsen is, in my humble opinion, Norway's answer to Montreal's very own Coeur de Pirate minus the bad attitude and the whining (I love the girl but you've got to admit that she tends to be a bit of a pain...). Both love to take on a Femme-enfant demeanor when singing about love, heartache and love's daily struggles and all of the while having amazing style. 

Basically unknown in America (or maybe you can remember her as one half of M2M feature on the pokemon soundtrack!), Marit has become a huge star in her native Norway as well as in Germany and other european countries. Her concerts are almost always sold out and her style is copied by many. Always understated with a minimal details, she prefers feminine silhouettes and vintage inspired styles. You can also sens a slight influence of Zooey Deschanel in her wardrobe choices. She's a real girl's girl.  

I'm curious, had you ever heard of her before? What do you think?
