Hailing from Curitiba, Brazil, Rosie and Me seem bent on making the fragilest songs they can. The impossibly adorable folk pop trio starts with a framework of unadorned guitar and ukulele strumming, then they’ll carefully add a little percussion, and maybe a whistle or something.

Stretching across this delicate instrumentation is Rosanne Machado’s breezy, country-inflected voice. She sings in English about love and dancing and all kinds of things, but her vocals always convey even more. In her voice there is a whole world of fireflies, and starry skies, and all your tenderest secrets.

It’s kind of amazing that their sensitive hearts don’t explode when performing these songs live. They must be pretty tough.

All kinds of people around the world are responding enthusiastically to their simple, innocent music. There’s even an electronic remix of their song “Come Back” by French DJ Benwa. And they’ll soon reach an even wider audience — they made the preliminary list to perform at SXSW 2011.

They’re actually too cute to handle, but If you think you can handle it, stream some of the songs on their self-released EP Bird and Whale at their website. But be careful. There’s a chance your heart might explode.

Just to be on the safe side, start with this video of them riding bikes and being adorable.

Warning: contains cupcakes.
