New Zealand born singer songwriter Kimbra is headlining two shows to welcome her second single Cameo Lover which will be released on April 19. Kimbra and her full live band will perform songs off the soon-to-be-released debut album, 'VOWS' at GoodGod in Sydney on April 13 and the Corner Hotel in Melbourne on April 14.

On the new single Cameo Lover, Kimbra journeys from the stripped back sound of Settle

Down and steps into a new world with influences of soul and Motown delivered with a fresh flavour with the help of renowned hip-hop producer M-Phazes (Amerie, Pharoahe Monch), the track was engineered by Jimi Maroudas, mixed by Michael Tayler with additional programming by Ryan Ritchie (True Live, The Raah Project).

With a voice that belies her age, Kimbra’s soul-influenced theatrical pop is inspired by a range of musical genres and artists, from Nina Simone to Bjork and Prince. In 2010 Kimbra’s debut single Settle Down received rave reviews from around the world, many projecting her as the 'one to watch’ for 2011.

Don't miss out on these special live shows, with special guests Yeo & North East Party House.

'Her overt style, ambition and naivety appeals in equal measure. Kimbra is dynamite. Her jazz/neo soul tune is built out of layered vocal stacks until the song explodes into a modern band arrangement that blows the doors off, showcasing the quality of her voice and the suave production of Francois Tetaz and M-Phazes.'

Brag Magazine

'Kimbra's got a pretty unique style going on right about now. The cut-and-paste vocals that introduce this song already belie something bigger than your average pop fare, complemented by a voice that swoops as low as it peaks. This is jazz intonation updated for the tech-age, all scats and doo-wops chopped and changed by some of the best knob-twiddlers in the business.'
