"  Photo: Emily Isacson Multi-dimensional singer, Kelly Sweet, is evidence that the most engaging of today&amp;#039;s new musicians combine their talents into a full-fledged artistic expression. The songstress just released her pulsating new electropop EP, Sirens, and we have an exclusive look at the behind-the-scenes video for one of the songs, &amp;quot;Ashes of My Paradise.&amp;quot; Sweet caught our attention for not only her evocative voice\u2014calling to mind the synth-aided propulsion of Ellie Goulding\u2014but also her avant-garde style, which exudes the provocative air of Lady Gaga. Fashion takes center stage, as the singer wears a variety of head-turning looks. One moment she&amp;#039;s a virginal nun, sporting a head veil and chest piece by I Can See Your Privacy; and later, she plays a high-fashion funeral attendee, draped in a black crochet dress by Blaq Label. But the standout look is when she portrays a heavenly goddess, wearing a stunning flower neckpiece, lace-embroidered cape and bodysuit, and silk maxi dress by Rachael Cassar. The video is more than just a fashion parade\u2014it mirrors the singer&amp;#039;s personal emotional struggles over the past year. &amp;quot;I lost both of my parents to cancer during the making of this new record,&amp;quot; she told us. &amp;quot;My mother in December of 2011, and my father in June of 2012. I was 23 years old. I felt I stood amongst the ash of the dreams of my life. But like a phoenix, I can rise again.&amp;quot; Watch the behind-the-scenes video.      And then see how it all came together for the official &amp;quot;Ashes of My Paradise&amp;quot; video.      Read the latest breaking culture news. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
