Any new artist has to get used to a hectic schedule, but New Zealand's Kimbra seems to have a more complicated life than most. When State speaks to the musician she is in London for twenty four hours, having just arrived from Istanbul and about to head to Australia for a series of shows. After that it's off to Montreal to work on new material for the follow up to debut album Vows . Although that particular record is new to us, for Kimbra it is old news - having been first released in her home country [...]

She captivated my body and soul. For over eight months, Kimbra continues to possess a strong hold over my musical tastes and finally her debut, Vows, is now readily available in the United States. From the very first time I heard her vocals on “Somebody That I Used To Know” with Gotye I immediately knew Kimbra was a new, noteworthy voice to recognize. Thank you Amy Ramirez for introducing me to Kimbra those many months ago and for accompanying me to Kimbra’s first headlining LA show at The Bardot. Amy, you’re the best and one of the coolest [...]

I know I'm late on fucking everything right now, and this chick isn't exactly new new, (song came out over a year ago) but last week Knife played me this video On Demand and for some reason I fell in love with her at about the 2:26 mark.. Sidenote: I am losing my touch. This video has like 150 million fucking views and I saw it for the first time last week. Anyway... Something about the profile shot of her lips, the parts where her mouth is open as if she is [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , RPM , Q + A Craig Banks Last year, New Zealand pop eccentric Kimbra gained her first real exposure in America -- exposure being the operative word. The 21-year-old singer appears on Aussie riser Gotye 's breakout 2011 single 'Somebody That I Used to Know,' and in the video, both wear nothing but body paint and the pained expressions of scorned lovers.

Popping Up is our recurring look at new artists making noise on the music landscape. Because, hey—Madonna and Britney were once unknown, too. Kimbra is somebody that you really should know. The New Zealand-born singer/songwriter is currently shooting up the Billboard Hot 100 courtesy of her cameo on Australian pop pioneer Gotye's unexpected worldwide smash hit "Somebody That I Used To Know" . Her contribution to the acidic breakup anthem adds a much-needed female perspective to the gloomy proceedings, and showcases the crystal clear vocals that have rocketed her to stardom in the southern hemisphere. [...]
Great pop music offers hooks that present melody alongside an inviting story sans the cliché, and New Zealand's Kimbra has been able to dish out these essential goods. In sharp contrast with the repetitive and watered down tunes charting from tragedies such as Ke$ha here in the States, Kimbra's refreshingly catchy, bright songs (along with many of her entertaining music videos) are catered towards listeners who long for feel-good soulful arrangements with outspoken style. The Kiwi artist who marches to the beat of a different drummer has now launched an overseas career with her debut EP "Settle Down" [...]
Kimbra is a New Zealand born singer and songwriter, currently living in Melbourne. Already a known artist in NZ from the age of 14, she released her debut album ‘Vows’ in September 2011. Perez Hilton described her music as: "If you like Nina Simone, Florence & The Machine and/or Bjork, then we think you will [...]

Australians have an underhanded habit of claiming successful New Zealanders as our own. Born in Hamilton, New Zealand, but now residing in Australia, Kimbra (Johnson) will no doubt be the next Kiwi musician to be pilfered after the release of her debut album, [...]

The New Zealand-born Melbourne-based singer who impressed with 'Settle Down' , 'Cameo Lover' and her Gotye duet releases her debut album Vows in Australia this week, Pedestrian.TV have a stream of the off-beat pop record. I'm rather enjoying it and so can you. http://soundcloud.com/wmaustra lia/sets/kimbra-vows-pedestria n-tv Kimbramusic.com
From what I've seen and heard, New Zealander Kimbra is like a modern interpretation of Pizzicato Five . Her debut album Vows was released a few days ago. I fucks with it, yo.

Meet Melbourne-based New Zealander Kimbra. She is quirky, fun and a fresh face in the pop scene. I've been following her for about a year now and now with the her upcoming release of her album 'Vows' she has made the single 'Cameo Lover' available for free download. She dropped two smoking hot remixes of her single Cameo Lover this week courtesy of Dutch producer Shook and Australian G.L.O.V.E.S . And now Sam Sparro has been added [...]

Kimbra ’s latest single, “Cameo Lover”, gets all shook up by Shook (couldn’t resist that play on words). Results are tremendous. Mp3: Kimbra - Cameo Lover (Shook Remix) And check out the music video for the original. Loving this ridiculous aspect ratio. Wait, are those the two girls from her “Settle Down” video? Yes.

Shook never ceases to amaze me. First of all, he's an amazing producer. Second of all, all the people he works with are amazing artists. This all makes for amazing music. Cameo Lover is the new single off New Zealand born singer/songwriter Kimbra's forthcoming debut album Vows . Soulful vocals with a jazz influence have shaped much of Kimbra's music to date, with a soul-pop sound strengthened by her four piece band. Shook adds a more upbeat feel in his remix, adding synth layers, a funky bassline and a foot shufflin' [...]

Previously lauded around these parts last fall when first peeped in a live in-studio performance clip we couldn't peel our eyes (and ears) away from, "Cameo Lover", by New Zealand-born/ Australia-based jazzy-pop fascination Kimbra , has finally been given a proper promotional push, now accompanied by a music video that's as equally charming as the song's cutesy bridging of classic girl group, doo-wop, blue-eyed soul, lounge-pop and Motown. Just try to argue us down that everything sent through your speakers between the 2:22 and 2:36 marks isn't pure summertime pop bliss. [...]
Pretty girls in dresses, dancing and smiling? Self; I truly thought you were stronger than that. But New Zealand’s Kimbra blends Indie, Jazz and Soul into a style even Prince and Janelle Monae would be proud of. So with such a fantastically catchy song behind the new video for “Cameo Lover”, I can’t be too [...]
This is the video for Kimbra ’s forthcoming new single ‘Cameo Lover’ from her soon-to-be-released début album ‘Vows’. You may remember Kimbra as the voice of Miami Horror’s awesome ‘I Look To You’. This new single of hers has a weird, but pleasing, Electro 60’s thing going on which is carried over into the Guy Franklin directed video. Buy Kimbra’s music from:
Click here to view the embedded video. Director: Guy Franklin Producer: Elizabeth Sarsfield Cinematographer: Edward Goldner Colourist: Christine J. Dobson Post-Production: John Gavin @The Pixel Kitchen Just gonna put it out there. This could well be the best pop chorus of 2011. Whether you agree with me or if your plaintive, stoic self begs to differ - 11,092 views in just over five days can’t be wrong... right? There’s no one formula for a good pop hook, but this lady has it [...]

O jogo da conquista no novo single da Kimbra Kimbra é australiana, cantora independente e possui apenas 20 anos.
