TIPP-Clip: Madeline Juno - Stupid Girl

Madeline Juno’s online hits such as "Error" had record labels fighting over the young songstress from the Black Forest. She’s since opened for the likes of Ellie Goulding, and now presents her new album: "Salvation".

The indie pop songs by his band Blumfeld went down a storm, and have even been analyzed in college literature classes. Frontman Distelmeyer embarked on a solo career after dissolving the group in 2007. His latest album features covers of English-language songs such as "Video Games" by American singer Lana Del Rey.
