Support Women Artists Sunday: Kimbra

Kimbra

New Zealand pop singer Kimbra is a soulful vocalist with a bent toward jazzy R&B and indie rock-influenced dance music. Born Kimbra Johnson in Hamilton, New Zealand, Kimbra first began taking guitar lessons around age 12 and was performing live by her teens. A 2007 Juice TV video award caught the attention of the Melbourne, Australia-based label Forum 5, which signed her to a recording contract. Her first single, “Settle Down,” was released in 2010, the same year she guested on a track (“I Look to You”) by Miami Horror. In 2011, Kimbra released her debut album, Vows, via Warner Bros., featuring the single “Settle Down.” Also in 2011, she appeared on the widely popular single “Somebody That I Used to Know” with Australian-Belgian singer Gotye. A significantly reworked version of her debut album was released in the U.S. during May of 2012.
