Fool's Gold- "Surprise Hotel"

According to rcrdlbl.com:

Fool's Gold is a Los Angeles collective that weaves together western pop aesthetics with African rhythms and melodies. The group started as a side project of two young LA musicians, vocalist/bassist Luke Top and lead guitarist Lewis Pesacov, who set out to explore their shared love of various forms of African music (specifically Congolese, Ethiopian, Eritrean and Malian), Krautrock, and 80s dance influenced pop music. They quickly wrote a few inspired songs and asked friends, friends of friends and even strangers to join them on stage.

She may be the best unknown singer in the universe. You may remember her arresting voice from the Mitsubishi Outlander commercial from a few years ago:



After struggling in Pop obscurity for years, the Scottish singer is finally getting acclaim thanks to another commercial. This time it is the Quattro For Women Bikini Razor. McCluskey's "I'm Not The Girl" has turned the commercial into a hot internet Commodity. The Wilkinson website has garnered over a million hits since the new ad campaign began:
