It took me a couple of weeks, but I finally gave Kimbra’s Vows a solid listen and I really dig it. She comes across in a very similar fashion as other quirky but pop-centric singers like Esthero and Imogen Heap, both of whom I love. I think the Kiwi vocalist will have quite an interesting career ahead of her in the U.S. if she can get over the whole “girl in the Gotye song” thing.
Not to say that the association with Gotye is hurting much. Right now, Kimbra’s on the road supporting alt-pop giants Foster The People, and this fall, she’ll be spinning off into her own headlining tour. Tickets go on sale this Friday, the 15th.
