As we quickly approach a full year of staying at home, we’ll still be looking to music for these experiences in 2021, and music will still be there to provide them - whether in the form of new releases by exciting up-and-comers or, uh, a Drake album. When big-ticket albums like Fiona Apple’s years-in-the-making Fetch the Bolt Cutters and Taylor Swift’s surprise quarantine albums folklore and evermore came out, it felt as if the whole world paused to listen in on the same night, translating the feeling of a listening party at a club or a festival set to online spaces for the age of social distancing (which you should still be doing, ahem). Vows is encompassing and willing and shows that Gotye was somebody that Kimbra used to know.Photo-Illustration: Vulture and Photos by YouTube and DNCC/EPA-EFE/ShutterstockĬollective experience was hard to come by in 2020, except when it came to music. No doubt, being able to produce quality pop music without falling for the club themed anthems that seem to be the headline of most top 40 countdowns, Kimbra has proven that musicality and quality production can outshine any of the sausage factory products that see’s much airplay these days. This is a credit to the production of the album, with an eminenent showing of produces in M-Phases and Francoise Tetaz, the indie/rock and R’n’B knowledge is support with fantastic understand of jazz and orchestral musicality, giving Vows it’s full punch.Īt a young age of 21, Kimbra has been able to establish herself with a glorious album in Vows. Lead singles, ‘Settle Down’ is a valiant trip through dream pop vocals and glorious soulful instrumental, while ‘Cameo Lover’ is pure pop joy with cheery hooks and high sing-a-long value. Lyrically, Kimbra entices and is straight forth in her narrative Song writing brilliance is evident in her melodies, as they linger and tease you as the listener as the hooks are used sparingly, giving the listener a glow when they come around. The cohesion of Vows is also magnificent, with so much difference in her styling’s, Kimbra is able to tie everything together, and piece the differences together to make a cohesive and spectacular flow from the thickly layered vocals of ‘Withdraw’ to the silky husk 90’s pop of ‘Old Flame’. An example of this is the glorious cover of Nina Simone’s ‘Plain Gold Rings’, focussing on Kimbra’s self harmonization and empathetic vocals, while ‘Call Me’ is a huge jazz/soul tune that becomes bigger and better as it goes on. Placing herself into cameos with Miami Horror and the-shall-not-be-named Gotye single, Kimbra’s name was propelled worldwide, giving her the perfect launching pad to unleash her own musical styling’s on the public, and Vows is an album filled with mixed genre glossy pop, whimsical soul and fulfilling jazz renditions that shows Kimbra’s own writing is something to behold.Ī strong juxtaposition in musical style is what makes Vows so listenable, giving the listener so many straws to clutch at. Kimbra is a star on the rise and her debut LP, Vows proves this disposition.
