Now here's an uprising star that I adore very much. I found her at Dianna Agron's blog and I was blown away. In a nutshell, Kimbra Johnson (born 27 March 1990), Kimbra. Her debut album Vows was released on 29 August 2011 in New Zealand, and 2 September 2011 in Australia on Warner Bros. Records Inc.
A few songs that is on loop pretty much everyday: Cameo lover, Good Intent, Settle Down and Plain Gold Ring.
Things that make her awesome.
1) Her music. She's got pretty amazing stuff going on. I love her poetic description and honesty. Her groovy tunes gets me up on my feet. I can't deny the fact that she got some creepy lyrics going on especially 'Settle Down' which may scare people with commitment issues but I love it. I love the crazy stuff she do. I read from the Vanda & Young website that she was announced as 2011 winner of the Vanda & Young Songwriting Competition. That is pretty impressive.
2) She is pretty good live. I checked out some of her live performances. I wouldn't say it is perfect but it is undoubtedly good. Check out some of her studio recordings. It is definitely mind blowing.
4) Her full band. I think one of the plus points is really her band. She is so awesome and her band is really bring her qualities way out. Those crazy harmonies and groove. I adore her drummer too. He impressed me too much.
5)By now you should have noticed her hand gesture. She got all sort of hand signs going on when she's really into the song which I find pretty interesting and attractive. I also love her little dance.
6) Her music videos. Oh my globe awesomeness. She just got all the best people with her.
It was announced today that she will be touring with Gotye (I love this dude very much too) in the states. Check out her website http://kimbramusic.com/ I'm so excited about all these promotions in the states. These amazing musicians needs to be heard. I'm really sick of all those trash on the radio. We need real music in our lives.
