Equal parts Euro-pop fembot and sage, empathetic confidante (check the knowing, compassionate "Call Your Girlfriend"), with a Prince-channeling dirty mind and a tender, beating heart full of love, Sweden's self-proclaimed "scientifically advanced hot mama" just might be the most badass person on the planet right now. Never mind her deadly dance moves and fashion sense; she delivered one of last year's most lethal performances doing little more than eating a banana onstage at the Trocadero. What's been aptly called her "Magic 2010" also saw her drop two all-killer mini-LPs and a full-length that felt like a ready-made Greatest Hits. Fingers crossed she keeps that roll going and we don't have to wait another five years between albums; either way, she's earned this victory lap. All hail!
