Kimbra from NEW ZEALAND 🇳🇿 thank you so much for reacting to our Kiwi Musicians, Stan Walker, L.A.B. …..we live across the ditch from Deltra Goodrem, John Farnham, Jimmy B
PLEASE react to more of Kimbra. She is one of the best vocalists of our generation. All her live performances are amazing. Especially the sing sing studios ones
You neeeed to hear her song ‘wandering limbs’ live with Sam Lawrence down an alleyway - goosebumps and chills every time. His voice with hers, and their harmonies are just 🤯
Just loved how she built up her own backing by using one microphone to record the various loops of backing, then using the other to sing the song. Have seen a few people doing this with drums and other effects but not a voice, awesome!
Kimbra is the female vocalist from "Somebody That I Used To Know", yes. The Sing Sing session was around the same time, and it's like 10 years old at this point. You should do a follow-up on some of her new stuff. Her 4th studio album "A Reckoning" just dropped ("Vows", "The Golden Echo", and "Primal Heart" are other others), and she did a promo concert with Glasshaus Presents back in December/January.

Yes that’s the girl from the song with Gotye “Somebody That You Used To Know”. But her solo stuff is nowhere near as popular. Which is a shame. I love this song and totally forgot it existed haha
"First time listening"? I know the US has been sheltered from much NZ and Oz music (I found Crowded House in the World Music section in a NY music store) but if you didn't hear Gotye and Kimbra with "Somebody that I Used to Know" then you must've been hiding under a rock.
I think it needs mentioning that this was a Nina Simone song which, of course, is very good in its own right. But to really know how good Kimbra's version of it is, you have to go listen to the original.
this is one of my favorite performances of hers. It's so raw and beautiful, technical and freeform. All the vocal harmonies are her looping into an effects module. It doesn't matter how many times i hear it, as soon as she gets to the skatting part around 6:57 i burst out in happy tears. The energy release is palpable. Her band also deserves praise for being so in the pocket and letting her do her thing.
She is the ONLY reason I ever learned to love pop! Every album she's made is amazing but my favorites are Vows and The Golden Echo! So many genres and so capable in all of them!
One of my faves. Every time I revisit the performance...chills. The looping harmonies, the soul, the range, the power, the connection with the music; just amazing. Technically they may have cut two or three performances together, but still amazing.
That's the destruction I leave on the ladies cos I wear that plain gold ring. They try... But they only go mad and cry. Only one gal for me.... for 30 years.
Omg you gotta do more Kimbra!! She is UNDERRATED!!
Kimbra is the queen of loops 🙌🏻

Finally someone realizes how good kimbra is. Jesus. Thumbs up.
She is overlaying her own vocals and looping them. Most famous thing she’s done was Somebody that I Used to Know with Gotye.
Loved this! She's a great singer and sang on Goyte's "Somebody that I used to know" but as you can see there is more to her.

I Love this song. And two way street, too.
It is a brilliant version for sure
OMG agree. I just don’t think she’s done a bad performance in her life.
I don’t even listen to the studio version of that song, the alleyway performance is just transcendent
Yess she has incredible vocal skills very underappreciated I feel. Definitely react to more of her please.
THANKSSSS GODDD SHE'S RECEVING MORE REACTIONS ITS BEEN YEARSSSS SHEE NEEDS TO SHINE ASAP I LOVE HER SO MUCHHHHHHHHHHBH
She’s the background lol. She has a soundboard in front of her so she can loop her voice.

She's from Hamilton in NZ
Yep down the road from where I live Tokoroa 😊 Kia Ora

Ong I didn't know that was her. And also she reached out to me a few days ago which was amazing she said she cried watching my reaction 😭
I told you dude. She. Is. A bad. Ass. Singer. Beautiful. Voice. 😂❤❤
If you guys like this then you would love her doing this song live on Rockwiz. It is truly amazing!
...she reminds me a bit of Björk in a less extreme way. As experimental and inovative but in a more joyfull manner. Groovy- jazzy pop art at it's best
yo you havent done any kimbra since this vid...plz sir
I remember this song from her debut album, but the live version blows it out of the water! Thanks to who ever suggested this version.
The whole album is FANTASTIC!!
I think it needs mentioning that this was a Nina Simone song which, of course, is very good in its own right. But to really know how good Kimbra's version of it is, you have to go listen to the original.
I got to see Kimbra’s live in Chicago. It was very intimate, just a small club.
She was one of Princes favorite artists and he gave her the award.

Loved that Gotye song with her 👍 This is funky and I got to check out her stuff, man 👍 The sound and voice is amazing 👍

Haha seeing someone react the same way I did awesome
Wandering limbs live please!!
Kimbra is an amazing artist and singer! Listen to her Settle Down live Spotify session 😁
So glad you reacted to her! She’s looping her own harmonies on top of one another :)
Another artist from New Zealand 🇳🇿
I like the “Two Way Street” Sing Sing Studio one better but yes KIMBRA is amazing!
Miss Kimbra's background is her looped voice. From her soundboard that she's using.
And ppl have the nerve to only refer to her as the “Somebody I Used To Know” girl 🤪 she’s much more than that!
One of my faves. Every time I revisit the performance...chills. The looping harmonies, the soul, the range, the power, the connection with the music; just amazing. Technically they may have cut two or three performances together, but still amazing.
Kimbra live medley at Glasshaus is amazing. Definitely your style too :P
Bruh...Kimbra is so damn fire and I wish more people understood that!! Do more!!
Mate too much stop start and not enough listening and reacting. Friendly advice. Sometimes less is more. A great song choice tho!
Oh my God… She went from incredible to out of this world! I need to hear more! I’m obsessed!!!!
Love your reactions! So cool to hear from someone who listens with a trained ear ❤
ahhhh it’s sounds all over the place
My brotha, watch all you can of hers. Amazing talent.
Omg please get into more of Kimbra’s music! Her live performances are dope too!
Bro I love this reaction thank you man🎉
Prince loved her too and was happy she got an award
Isn’t she just insane?! Love this reaction
She is for sure a Musician's musician
Love seeing people discovering Kimbra.
In glad you have found this. It makes life better.
She is just brilliant ❤ love her in Gotye “ somebody that I use to know” ❤
Awesome! Thank you.
That was amazing!!!
Thinking mans Bjork.
That's the destruction I leave on the ladies cos I wear that plain gold ring. They try... But they only go mad and cry. Only one gal for me.... for 30 years.
Great station bro! She is too talented.
She ate and left no crumbs I honestly think she did a better job than the original artist God rest her soul Nina Simone.
