So many of you know have heard of Kimbra a New Zealand beauty by now, she was on Gotye "Somebody That I Used to Know" she has also released a song named "Warrior" she recorded with Mark Foster and A-Trak. Her album released today in the US. I think she has really good potential to break through the US with her amazing voice because her voice is so melodic and gritty at the same time. It does help that she is a good looking woman also and that she has amazing style.
Her songs off her album "Vows" sound of wanting some one, are super catchy lyrics, and have some amazing beats. The song "Settle Down" lyrics come straight from her album title, it is about settling down with some one. They sound so dreamy at the beginning. "Cameo Lover" is very pop-electro and the lyrics sound to me like they are about a part-time lover.
You can get her single "Cameo Lover" as a free download on iTunes, but I really recommend buying the Album you wont regret it, your ear buds will thank you for it.
"Vows" is really fun to listen to, Kimbra has some really funky beats on her songs. She definitely knows how to work with her voice in order to make it distinctive, she normally records her own voice singing the beats and plays it back as she signs along to the song.
Check out this video on
YouTube.com of her performing at Bardot in LA. I wish I could have gone to this show, but I had to work and I had school in the morning. Here is another version of "Settle Down" by Kimbra
