If you're wondering where the rest of A Fine Frenzy is... you're looking at it. Though EMI signed Ali Sudol on her own merits -- and those of the demo she mailed in -- A Fine Frenzy does not her own name bear. Instead, she let The Bard do the work for her; The phrase "A Fine Frenzy" is from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, referencing a poet's moment of inspiration.

Watch Ali's "The 5" interview to find out more about her sophomore album, Bomb in a Birdcage, and to get some insight into this offbeat, soft-spoken redhead who counts Miley Cyrus as a fan. Plus, see why she faked poor vision back in the day. I'll try not to hold her dislike of the color purple against her, but never seeing Star Wars? That sounds like a full-time job of avoidance, though she did teach herself to play the piano and I didn't...

And when you're done watching her The 5 interview, watch A Fine Frenzy's latest single, "Blow Away." It's what all those lilt-y, chirpy alt-pop singers should sound like. And make sure you're following @afinefrenzy on Twitter. Although you probably already are -- A Fine Frenzy has over 1 million followers and counting.
