Still no idea

Ok, totally going out on a limb here...but the voice in this new iamamiwhoami sounds exactly like Bat for Lashes to me. Could Natasha Khan be behind this project? Granted, she just came out with a record last summer and I haven't heard of a follow up being made, but if this isn't Natasha Khan singing there's someone that sounds A LOT like her involved.

Obviously the girl in this video is disguised, perhaps she's disguised in all of them and is not really blond all. Her blue eyes are definitely contacts and the image is heavily distorted. I'm not saying that this is necessarily Bat for Lashes in the video or her project exclusively, but I wouldn't be surprised if she (and potentially other vocalists) have lent their talents to some other artist.

Also take note of the men in the video, they seem to be disguised as well. It's not a positive ID, but they could easily be Torbjørn Brundtland and Svein Berge, aka Royksopp. Anybody remember their collaboration with Robyn? How about when they featured Karin Dreijer Andersson on vocals? It's not unlikely that this is something like that.

But what do we know? We've been sure it was Christina Aguilera, Little Boots, The Golden Filter, Goldfrapp and everyone in between. Anyways, watch and discuss.

Bat for Lashes - Pearl's Dream (Blossom and Surrender remix)

Royksopp - The Girl And The Robot (ft. Robyn)

EDIT: Thanks to a comment from our friend Carla (and this theory blowing up on the whole rest of the internet) we may now finally know who iamamiwhoami actually is. There's a lot of evidence pointing to Swedish artist Jonna Lee. There are definitely some physical similarities, the whole Swedish thing, some twitter updates and other stuff pointing to her...so this could very well be it for the mystery. I still think the voice sounds like Bat for Lashes more than what I've listened to from Jonna Lee, but any voice can be manipulated so I guess that's not saying much.

So here's a track from Jonna Lee and a photo to compare. I'm kind of sad that this could be the end, and a kind of disappointing one at that.

Another video from iamamiwhoami was posted today. Many of the people following this viral series, myself included, believed the 6th video would be the final reveal. We were wrong. What we have gotten from this video is music that sounds pretty different from the ambient music featured in the earlier videos, 'iam' spelled in blood, 'Welcome' spelled out in sticks and the mysterious woman saying 'Why'. Oh, and a monkey drawing. Which totally makes sense.



With all the build up this better lead to something AMAZING. However, I'm keeping my hopes down because I'm feeling more and more like this is gonna be someone I've never heard of.


One commenter on the YouTube page mentions that the stains in the snow are similar to the above photo that The Golden Filter posted on their Tumblr yesterday. Interesting, but the music in this video doesn't sound anything like what The Golden Filter have done so far in their career and the photo doesn't really match either. I'm saying that's a coincidence.

But really, I still have no idea. Do you?

We're getting close...I can feel it.

A new video from iamamiwhoami was posted this morning! I'll admit, I'm getting a little bit frustrated with iamamiwhoami because they keep stringing us along, but it's too late to stop now. If you read the youtube comments people are still convinced it's Xtina, other non-music followers believe it's The Knife, we've got some Robyns + Royksopp in the mix, and even a Lykke Li. I, for one, am convinced now more than ever that I have no idea.

The "clues" aren't helping me, they just make everything more witchy and confusing. HOWEVER, look at the nose at :47 and then google a picture of Christina Aguilera's profile. Pretty similar. The profile plus the busted grill might turn me back into a Christina believer. But really, who knows.

Watch and discuss.

You still think it's Christina?

Mysterious YouTube user iamamiwhoami posted another video today. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty confident after watching it the artist behind the campaign is NOT Christina Aguilera. I mean, they're practically giving it away in this one...but I don't recognize the woman in the video! But who knows...maybe the woman in the video is just a guest vocalist or simply a model.

Give it a watch, take a guess and enjoy my dark and darker horse candidate The Golden Filter's new single Hide Me.
