Bosoms! Lots of makeup! Wildly dramatic trilling! Casio-riffic no-budget music! It can only be that "icy spicy" babe Leoncie. Did I mention bosoms? As Miss Thing herself says, "A Little Bit Of My Cleavage Shows, And Then The Icelandic Volcano Explodes. Boooom!"
Forget yer Bjorks - Leoncie may be from Iceland (while claiming Indian heritage), but there all similiarities end. She writes and records her own music, even makes some of her own outfits, while performing everything with the breathless enthusiasm and relentlessly up-beat optimism of old-fashioned show-biz, even though her lyrics can turn baffling ("Radio Rapist"?) or, as in the case of "Satan City," which she claims is based on a real Icelandic nighborhood, nightmarishly surreal:
Leoncie "Satan City" - a place so offensive to her devoutly Christian sensibilities she claims they're "fucking on the street." Come on everybody, clap your hands! (But mind the abrupt ending.)
Many of her songs are about love. Or, more accurately, lust. Not for the easily embarrassed:
Leoncie "My Icelandic Man" - Wow, I wonder how she performs this one live. Hey, you two, get a room!
This page has more mp3s on the bottom, including her "headbanger" number:
Leoncie: "Wrestler" - And, yes, it's about wrestlers. Get this woman a tv appearance NOW!

Awesome find. I like how most of her comments turn into pot-shots at American pop music, too.

Oh my gosh. "I don't need no lubrication. I am wet." I'm blushing!
