The 21 year-old singer and songwriter from New Zealand is featured on the Gotye song "Somebody That I Used to Know." After a stint at SXSW, Kimbra will be opening for Gotye on his upcoming US tour and joining Foster the People on their summer run.
Originating from Hamilton, New Zealand, Kimbra has been performing her jazz-inflected pop since she was 14. Her Australian debut, Vows, has spawned three hit singles, is certified platinum, earned her a "one to watch" rave from Rolling Stone Australia and won Kimbra the ARIA (Australian Grammy) for Best Female Artist. Several of the songs on Vows are included on her current US EP Settle Down, which was released in October 2011. The title track is already getting airplay on KCRW and the video, which has over six million views, was recently selected as iTunes Video of the Week. Watch it here:

Kimbra's haunting vocals and impassioned delivery on the Gotye track "Somebody That I Used to Know" have helped propel it to an international hit: the video for the song has almost 70 million views and it is climbing the US radio charts. Kimbra recently joined Gotye onstage for the US television debut of "Somebody That I Used to Know" on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Kimbra's debut for Warner Bros is set for a summer release.
