Hello again...Najamoniq here with this week's New Music Obsession - Kimbra. So you say you love Amy Winehouse, Bjork, Florence and the Machine, and Prince? Then this Australian beauty will be right up your alley! Blessed with a voice of gold, Kimbra's music is weaved with themes and quirky jazz rifts.
Born in Hamilton, New Zealand to a doctor and a nurse, there wasnt a huge musical influence in her upbringing but music was inside her! Winning her high school's Rockquest competition 3 years running, Kimbra began writing songs at age 10. Kimbra's father bought her a guitar at age 12, and after a few years of lessons she was on stage performing.
Kimbras first single, "Settle Down" was released in 2010 and in June 2011 she signed with Warner Bros. Records for distribution in New Zealand and Australia, as well as a worldwide deal for other territories and the U.S. Sweet, soulful, and heart felt Kimbra speaks to the vocalist and romantic inside of me. I hope you enjoy this gem and the two videos I posted of my favorite tracks: "Settle Down" and "Plain Gold Ring". See you next week with another New Music Obsession Pick!
