Sliimy LIMITED EDITION T-SHIRT contest!

We have an awesome contest for all of our readers out there: we have 2 LIMITED EDITION t-shirts from French artist Sliimy (each one of which would normally cost you $39 plus shipping). Lise formerly described him as a combination of Mika, Kate Nash and Little Jackie, which I think is a very apt comparison. Not only do am I loving his peppy plucky music, but I'm digging his use of bright colors on both the t-shirt and in this delightful music video:



To enter the contest, simply email us with "I heart Sliimy!!" in the subject line and your name and mailing address in the body (don't worry, we won't sell your info, but we need to know where to mail your t-shirt!) by Sunday, October 25th at 11:59pm EST. Two winners will be chosen at random and notified on Monday, October 26th.

Sliimy

So my Phoenix post a while back encouraged me to check out more Parisian artists, and I came across Sliimy, the up-and-coming French phenomenon. I guess Perez Hilton posted about him back in December and is thus strangely accredited to "discovering" Sliimy, but I don't really read Perez Hilton and I'm going to assume that you don't either. Sliimy is from Saint-Etienne and sounds like a perfect mesh of Kate Nash, Mika and Little Jackie. His first single is the catchy "Wake Up" from his debut album Paint Your Face, and it's been THE song of the week for me. His cover of Womanizer is also fabulous and has gotten a lot of love - it can be heard on his myspace. This is energized and inspired pop ensured to perk up your day, so check out this Parisian who no doubt is going to be the talk of the international town this summer.
