It will be interesting to see if she decides to pursue a more streamlined direction in the future, but by threading its widely eclectic range of influences together in such an impressively cohesive manner, Vows suggests she might never need to. kimbra, Kimbra - GOTYE, Gotye - SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOW (FEATURING KIMBRA)(REMIX), Gotye ft. Gotye released the track 'Somebody That I Used to Know' as the lead single for his third studio album Making Mirrors on July 5th, 2011. I feel like that helps me to complete the song, if I can imagine the visuals that are attached.
New Zealand indie-pop singer BENEE has delivered a cover of Gotye’s global hit Somebody That I Used To Know, featuring Kimbra. Occasionally, this "cover all bases" approach lacks focus, but for the most part, Kimbra's invention is a marvel to behold, as her enchanting and swooping jazz-pop tones glide across a veritable feast of sounds, from the hypnotic double basslines and '30s show tune harmonies of "Good Intent" to the plinky piano hooks and rhythmic R&B grooves of opener "Settle Down" while a beautifully gothic take on "Plain Gold Ring" is one of the rare instances of a Nina Simone cover matching the original. Kimbra 'As soon as I start writing a song, I have to be able to close my eyes and see the music video. The single follows BENEE’s debut album, ‘Hey u.’. Effortlessly flitting from bubblegum pop starlet on the playful old-skool beats and '60s doo wop vocals of "Cameo Lover" to avant-garde banshee on the melancholic music box-inspired closer, "The Build Up," Kimbra's chameleon-like tendencies ensure that predictability is certainly never an issue on any one of its 12 genre-hopping tracks. When we see news about covers, normally we imagine an acoustic version of a famous classic song, but when we see the word cover next to the name of Kimbra, we know it will be kind of a new song. I, like many, first heard of her Kimbra in 2012 when she was featured in Gotye’s hit song Somebody That I Used To Know for which she won two Grammy awards. On one hand, you can hear Kimbra's dynamic vocal harmonies pretty clearly and the bass is big, meaty, and bouncy on somewhat sparse tracks like '90s Music.' On the other hand, I listened to this album against Garbage's remastered 'Version 2.0,' and the instrumentation on that is so much clearer, even with guitar distortion present (which a lot. Echoing the experimental nature of recent collaborator Gotye, whose number one single "Somebody That I Used to Know" she stole the show on, New Zealand songstress Kimbra's debut album, Vows, is a schizophrenic affair that is almost impossible to pigeonhole. Kimbra is love and conviction.That was the takeaway from this momentous, heartfelt show. Johnson who recently finished her first headlining tour in support of the US version of her debut album Vows, was thrown some hard questions by us about what all this success means, moving beyond the label Gotye Girl and how she intends to make the best of the moment.
