Her musical influences range from Prince and soul singer Minnie Riperton, to Björkand Jeff Buckley. Her debut album, Vows, was released in Australia in 2011. Singles from the album include "Settle Down", "Cameo Lover" (which won an Australian Recording Industry Association Award), "Good Intent" and "Two Way Street". Spoiler A reworked version of the album was released in Europe and the United States in 2012. It featured several new songs, including "Come into My Head", "Warrior" (on which Kimbra was joined by musicians Mark Foster from Foster the People and DJ A-Trak), and a cover of Nina Simone's "Plain Gold Ring". Vows reached the top 5 in New Zealand and Australia; on 22 May 2012, the album was released in North America, debuting at number 14 on the Billboard charts. Kimbra is featured in the 2012 multi-platinum single "Somebody That I Used to Know" by Gotye.

It was the most pop sounding track on the album. Wandering Limbs is a persoanl favorite. Her lyrics are so poetic at times 8 minutes ago, Helxig said: It's always so weird when people talk about her because she grew up where I grew up/currently live.

Vodka 4,478 Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 I'm fully aware that this topic has sort of been left buried, and further that I myself made it, but loving this artist this much just compelled me to want to comment. I'm not even sure if reddit is a reliable source (honestly doubtful), but there's talks of Kimbra having finished her third record. I do have receipts in the form of yt videos that I'll probably post on the forum in a bit. But here's the reddit link:https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/67td2o/kimbra_has_finished_her_third_album_and_it_is/ Yes, I also do love partying in moving houses as seen in that one Bacardi tv ad.
