Shades-Phlo Finister

Phlo Finister is someone I had never heard of until this past weekend and now this song has been on replay all weekend! The 19 year old from Oakland, California is really making a name for herself these days. In this song, "Shades", released earlier this month Finister blends genres together geniously! Most of her work is done by blending genres together. Pop and Hiss: LA Times Music Blog,  refers to Finister as a "Youthquaker", which is something I had never even heard of so I had to look it up. I don't know how trustworthy this definition is gonna be but here it is...
According to Wikipedia, "Youthquake was a 1960s fashion, musical and cultural movement." They also mention that "London was the center of this movement" and that "The fashion of youthquake was fun, spirited and youthful-miniskirts and jumpsuits".
I guess the reason for refering to her as a Youthquaker is basically to explain her style in clothing. If I had to compare her to an artist I actually know more about it would probably have to be....well no one. She is really something new to me but I know we'll be seeing a lot more from her in the future.
