Warner Music Australia will release Kimbra’s debut album VOWS in
Australia on Friday 2 September.
Having signed with Warner Music Worldwide in Los Angeles earlier
this year, KIMBRA’S debut record has been three and-a-half years in the
making. It charts not only her growth and development musically over this
time, but personally as well. KIMBRA co-produced VOWS along side the
refined skills of François Tétaz (Bertie Blackman, Gotye) and Australian
Urban export M-Phazes(Amerie, Pharoahe Monch). She also contributed
her vocal talents to Miami Horror’s ‘I Look To You’ and a duet with
Gotye’s on his current #1 ARIA single ‘Somebody I Used To Know’.
KIMBRA is already proving herself as a songwriter and music stylist beyond
her years. Settle Down, the first single lifted from VOWS, won first place
in the Pop/Top 40 category at the The International Songwriting
Competition(ISC), the world's preeminent global songwriting event. Most
recently KIMBRA was also awarded the prestigious Vanda & Young
Songwriting Awardfor her 2nd single Cameo Lover. GOOD INTENT,
the alluring 3rd single from KIMBRA’S highly anticipated debut album
VOWS currently being spun on Triple J will be available on iTunes from
Monday 22 August.
On Good Intent, KIMBRA explores both sides of a broken vow and the
destruction it causes. An intense theme playfully delivered in teasing lines
punctuated by drunk horns, “I know you didn’t mean it boy/you meant so
well/but the pennies are cascading ‘round your wishing well.†Framed by
jazz bass, the nimble shuffle of drums and a bluesy guitar solo, the effect
is like waking up in a foggy speakeasy after a jagged night out to find the
heart on your sleeve missing. The cinematic film clip, playing out a film
noir escapade of moral intentions and immoral actions, is set to plunge
fans deeper into the eclectic world of KIMBRA.
To support the single and album releases, KIMBRA is touring nationally
in September with tickets on sale now. Demand to see KIMBRA’S critically
acclaimed live performance is so strong, her Sydney show has recently
moved to a venue double the size.
Please find following tour dates and VOWS tracklisting and formats. VOWS
can currently be pre-ordered from JB Hifi, Sanity, iTunes. For a short time,
fans can also sign up to Kimbra’s mailing list on Facebook and receive a
free exclusive unheard track from the album.
