Help!!! I can't believe the final version is with us and honestly it sounds just like the live version with that perfect bridge. Favorite Kerli song ever!!!

Ok so since we apparently have a Post-Utopia 2013 song, I decided to research a little bit about what happend between Utopia and Feral Hearts release. Bringing up a small unknown detail; Kerli signed a different record label after leaving Island. I did this because I like reading y'all theories and stuff about her music, so let's see what we can conclude about this.

-----

March 2013 - Utopia is released

May 2013 - Slow Motion is allegedy recorded. Kerli is still under Island at this point.

November 2013 - Kerli leaves Island and signs with Ultra Music. Wikipedia has this link as its citation but it's dead and the url is excluded from Wayback Machine: http://kerli.buzznet.com/user/journal/17384872/kerli-x-ultra-music/, but we do have a magazine mentioning this!

Early 2014 - Kerli is set to release a single on Ultra. I'm not so sure how "early" this was meant to be, as the older release I was able to find was Worlds Apart (June 3), which was not even a Ultra release. Her first Ultra release (Kaleidoscope) was released a month later after Worlds Apart, so something was cancelled likely.

According to Wikipedia, Basto was signed to Ultra, but I don't know the dates. Is there any posibility that Waking up the Sun is the cancelled single?

Unknown, before October 9, 2014 - There is this article from a Estonian newspaper about some other singer from Ultra recording a MV on the country, and they refer the label as "Kerli's old/former label", which means she was dropped at some point: https://www.ohtuleht.ee/melu/598481/kerli-endine-plaadifirma-ultra-music-salvestab-tallinnas-muusikavideo

Now honestly, everytime I see a EDM/Electronic label I feel these are mostly for artists that only releases singles and not actual projects. I may be wrong but do we expect a short lived Ultra album?

Unknown date, between January to October 2015 - Kerli returns to Estonia. Is likely that this actually happend in 2014 after she left Ultra. If someone can confirm.

November 5, 2015 - Kerli wrotes a song for Eesti Laul 2016, NOT Spirit Animal, at least not likely. This means Kerli was likely back at Estonia at this point

Febraury 2016 - "Roots" era starts with the release of Feral Hearts, so we may not consider any track made between 2013 to 2015 here.

-----

Tracks released on Ultra during these years were:

-Kaleidoscope w/Benny Benassi - which was a SoundCloud/YouTube release only and Kerli was moved to be a featurem

-Raindrops w/SNBRN - This was released on January 2015, after Kerli left the label.

Now in the songwriting side of the things, Slow Motion being a demo pitch isn't that crazy because Kerli was still writting (and still writes) for other artists after Utopia release, even after moving to Estonia.

As an extra info, I found this article about Kerli signing with Warner Chappell Publishing, and they mentioned about the ASCAP songwriting camp thing I was theorizing days ago. This is where Just Like That is from, but some other songs may have been made here, like Get Away with Murder likely.

Quote

In September of 2012, Kerli participated in ASCAP’s long-running and prestigious Château Marouatte songwriting camp, where top songwriters came together in the Dordogne Region of France for a week-long retreat.
