Karmin ‘s new single may be the sunniest song to ever bear a title like “Broken Hearted,” but what else would you expect from the eternally chipper swag-pop duo? Frontgirl Amy Heidemann’s got one of those Disney-princess-esque dispositions — you know, the sort of totally sincere sweetness that suggests she probably wakes up each morning to cartoon birds pulling her covers away.

There are a few special, landmark moments that are likely to make a musician feel like they’ve really made it : for example, singing the national anthem at the Super Bowl, winning their first Grammy or making their debut appearance on “Saturday Night Live.” Indie/Internet darling Lana Del Rey (and one of MTV’s Artists to Watch in 2012 ) is about to cross one of those things off her list as she makes her U.S. television debut on “Saturday Night Live” this weekend.
