'...Within a few short moments Kimbra had stepped forward as a mature songwriter with an enchanting voice. Kimbra sings with a significantly jazz-influenced style and at moments (if you close your eyes) you might hear Bessie Smith or Nina Simone crooning out to you. Combine this with contemporary influences such as Camille, Radiohead or Amy Winehouse and you’ve got a hugely interesting texture. Listen out for Lapse; Melbourne will be hearing more of this one.' - FasterLouder.com
'Kimbra, whose voice-and-guitar stylings were wickedly complimented by her on-the-fly vocal samplings; as the choir of her own looped vocals built and built, propelled by her own mix of cheek and bravado, I’m forced to forget there’s only one person making this all happen.' - Beat Magazine
Yo kimbra New tracks sounds great. So interesting to hear your songs with all the shiny frills of production. The new settle down was unexpected!...but i think its growing on me. Goodluck with the rest of the album.
