In December 2015, Kerli announced the release of her new independent album planned for September 2016. Hew new single & CD pre-orders will be available through the crowdfunding website Pledgemusic.com. There is no information about the new album name yet.
Meanwhile, her Spotify profile's Introduction before the release of her Shadow Works describes Kerli as follows:
" Biography
Avant-Garde, mystical, and magical are just some of the ways her fans describe KERLI’s music. As Estonia’s most successful music export, this unique artist has defied genre and created a musical world all her own; an eclectic style, drawing on a wide range of influences such as electronic, pop, goth, and experimental.
Her debut album, "Love Is Dead", in 2008 which charted on the Billboard 200. The lead single, "Walking on Air," was featured as the iTunes single of the week where it was downloaded over 500,000 times, a record at that time.
Her 2nd album Utopia also charted on Billboard 200. Singles "Army of Love", Zero Gravity", and "The Lucky Ones" entered the top 10 Billboard Hot Dance, two of them peaking at number 1. A song co-written by KERLI for Utopia, "Skyscraper" was recorded by Demi Lovato and become one of Demi’s biggest hits.
In 2016, she released 3 independent singles, while teaming up with the government of Estonia to art direct a tourism campaign designed to promote the otherworldly nature of her country.
Spending most of her creative time in the deep forests of Estonia, KERLI’s evolution as an artist has paralleled her curiosity as a human, exploring the relationship between nature, mysticism, and technology. All of which will be part of her most diverse and eclectic body of work on an upcoming album, titled ‘Shadow Works’, set to release in Feb 2019 on MrSuicideSheep's imprint Seeking Blue"
Many new worlds and characters will be revealed in 2023, starting with a dangerously cute realm of a pink robot named Joy, here to make a big colorful splash on the apocalypse-stricken planet Earth.

i remember back in the day, when Walking On Air first came out. it changed my life :) ive always been a fan of the dark Tim Burton style, thats what first attracted me to the video, but when the music started it was like an angel was singing. ive been a fan for about 4-5 years now, and its wonderful to see how shes grown and changed, but shes just as amazing as ever :)
@uwu7699

@mariolabeouf1120
Kerli, Natalia Kills, Birdy, Azealia Banks, Grimes... a lot of artists with very big talent than a lot of comercial pop stars, but unfortunatelly they are so underrated
@LoverHotelTokio
People have a brainwash by "comercial pop stars" , most of them are just fake! But those you mentioned, the realy make music, with effort and love
@MattWarnex
Azealia banks fucked herself up with her behaviour towards other artists
@mlaster2
I wouldn't say underated. She gets the attention she works for but however I think she deserves more. Now that she is signed to Ultra Music she should be getting treated A LOT better compared to what Island Def Jam did to her.
@viviwestw1327
Kerli fucked herself too, now making mainstream music... She was only famous here in Brazil, and now who listens to her?
