The result is an album that could easily have been chaotic and mismatched, but somehow fits together like puzzle pieces.

Top of the World Lyrics: On my knees, all my life I’ve been sold a chase / Hustling hope for dollars, try cope a day (a day) / Under condition / We on our way to the top / We got the world at our. Given so much change, it’s no wonder this album became a way for the artist to look at her life, her memories and her musical tastes objectively, as she said in an interview. She’s kept her versatile and unmatched vocal abilities but lost much of her New Zealand accent in the meantime. Then a year and a half ago, she moved to Los Angeles. She released her debut solo album “Vows” in August 2011, but still stayed in New Zealand. John Legend makes an appearance on “Nobody But You,” a delicious fusion of funk and soul that would make ’60s and ’70s music fans proud.Ĭonsidering Kimbra’s experiences since her starting point with Gotye, “The Golden Echo” is more of an ambitious experiment.

The track, featuring the soul artist Bilal, starts with synth tracks straight out of the ’80s. “Everlovin’ Ya” will make electronica fans young and old swoon. “Teen Heat” is the perfect kind of slow R&B for chilling with your friends. There’s a heartfelt contemporary ballad (“As You Are”). Despite the protracted process, the album sounds like a work that’s stuck between two places reaching for a larger audience but clinging on to her offbeat nuances. Now, the New Zealander is proving her musical prowess on her latest release, “The Golden Echo.”ĭon’t try to fit this album under any one umbrella of a genre. In some ways it’s more a producer’s album than a singer’s, featuring texture and complex production as the artist explores the varied expressions of her undeniable and prodigious talent. Kimbra broke into fame after her appearance on Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know” - a gig that landed her two Grammy awards. Kimbras Primal Heart is a fascinating album of many disparate parts.
