KIMBRA is set to reveal the Two Way Street remix by Damian Taylor (Björk) at Australian radio on Monday 23 July.
The shimmering Two Way Street was written after a stroll down Hollywood boulevard, its titular avenue acting as a metaphor for love. The downward progression of stuttered pianos in the verse conveys a lovelorn desire before the glittering chorus of starry-eyed keys are placated by a gorgeous strings arrangement. Kimbra’s yearning singing retains an emotional core as its keen melodic hooks sink deep.
Directed by Matthew Rolston (Michael Jackson, Madonna, Beyoncé, Foo Fighters), the video for Two Way Street was unveiled last week. The stunning video was filmed at the historic Pasadena City Hall and in the picturesque grounds of the Pasadena Arts Centre in California.
In the past few months, KIMBRA has continued to add to her enviable list of achievements. VOWS debuted at #14 on the Billboard 200 album chart. Gotye’s worldwide smash hit single Somebody That I Used To Know featuring KIMBRA, has claimed the #1 position in nine countries including the UK, US and Australia.
KIMBRA also won the International Songwriting Competition Grand Prize for Cameo Lover, judged by iconic artists such as Tom Waits, Janelle Monáe, Lucinda Williams and Tori Amos,
Her TV performances on Jay Leno and Jimmy Kimmel Live were electrifying and fortified her meteoric rise to fame in the US.
Live, KIMBRA has performed a national sold out tour of Australia, a North American Tour with Foster The People, and has graced the stage from as far and wide as Paris, London, Montreal and Istanbul.
KIMBRA will return to Australia for Splendour in the Grass and then head to the UK and Europe for her album release there.
In Australia, VOWS has sold 100,000 copies and the 2 disc tour edition of the album with 6 BRAND NEW TRACKS is currently available.
