Following on from her Swedish transplant Kissey, now, we’ve got a video premiere\u00a0from her musical other half: TK Wonder \u2013 slam poet turned electro beat-maker.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve heard this story before: an aspiring rapper takes the stage, under a yellowing spotlight at a Brooklyn dive bar. It\u2019s open mic night. She lands herself a producer, lays down a few tracks, and before you know it, becomes an international sensation, pulling crowds of half a million. It sounds almost too good to be true \u2014 and it usually is, unless you happen to be TK Wonder.<\/p>\n

These days, Wonder is unstoppable. If you\u2019re not already following her on Instagram, chances are, you\u2019ve seen her face in retail campaigns across the country, together with twin sister Cipriana Quaan. She\u2019s a blogger, natural hair icon, and street style darling \u2014 not to mention a bonafide legend among EDM lovers of the Eastern bloc. Now, she\u2019s bringing the party home to New York City.<\/p>\n

TK Wonder isn\u2019t the first to marry hip hop and electronica, but she does it like no one else. A slam poet by trade, she delivers spitfire lyrics and unexpected sounds: at times, it\u2019s the stark and minimalist hip house of \u201cBorderTown;\u201d at others, the Technicolor electropop of \u201cWon\u2019t Lay Down.\u201d Her signature? A beat you can\u2019t shake for days.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no surprise that TK Wonder is an artist\u2019s dream collaborator. She is the prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of Macedonian producer Kiril Dzajkovski and one half of Wonderkiss, alongside Swedish experimentalist Kissey \u2014\u00a0but this year, Wonder is finally giving her fans what they really want: an album of her own. We caught up with her to talk Poland Woodstock, meeting Sting, and the most beautiful place in the world. But first, have a listen to her new track “Van Gogh”.<\/p>\n
