Damn she's good. I'm still crazy about her duet with Gotye posted a few weeks ago now- apparently it's almost at overkill point on TV and radio, but fortunately I pretty much only watch/listen to the news... Her debut album comes out next week and I can't wait to get it!
I'd never heard of Gotye before this song. I've listened to a bit more of his music on YouTube since, though it's not really my thing so far (by all means, recommend me something though). But this song, with Kimbra of all people, I'm crazy about. I'm really looking forward to Kimbra's debut album next month, and I absolutely hope she blows up- I think she'll be someone New Zealand can be genuinely proud of. I often feel we're a nation of rather negative people when it comes to our musicians' success, so it's quite fantastic to have hardly seen any bitter comments on her videos and websites that mention her.
Check out this song below, when you have a spare four minutes. And if by some crazy reason you don't like it, link me something better because I'd love to hear it!
I'd seen this video on NZ's free-to-air music channel C4 a bit recently, and always found it enchanting. Especially the dancing, it's fantastic. Had no idea until today that Kimbra's a Kiwi, although she's in Australia now (who can blame her?)
Also fantastic is her hair in this video. The curls are pretty similar to how my hair behaves if I actually put product in it and let it dry naturally. However I don't see myself pulling off that hairstyle. Ever. Thanks ghd.
The photo to the right is how Kimbra looked in 2009; pretty but forgettable imo.
So, two questions for anyone (outside NZ) who will oblige me. 1. Have you heard of this girl before? and 2. Have you heard of Brooke Fraser?
