Kerli’s music evolved from alternative rock to electronic and dance sounds, heard in her 2010 single “Army of Love.”

She contributed two songs, “Tea Party” and “Strange,” to the Almost Alice album for Disney’s Alice in Wonderland in 2010.

Her second EP, Utopia, released in 2013, included hits like “The Lucky Ones,” with “Army of Love” and “Zero Gravity” reaching #1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance Club Songs chart. Kerli also wrote “Skyscraper” for Demi Lovato, which became a significant hit.
