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. It will be interesting to see if she decides to pursue a more streamlined direction in the future, but by threading its widely eclectic range of influences together in such an impressively cohesive manner, Vows suggests she might never need to.Kimbra is a star on the rise and her debut LP, Vows proves this disposition. Occasionally, this 'cover all bases' approach lacks focus, but for the most part, Kimbra's invention is a marvel to behold, as her enchanting and swooping jazz-pop tones glide across a veritable feast of sounds, from the hypnotic double basslines and '30s show tune harmonies of 'Good Intent' to the plinky piano hooks and rhythmic R&B grooves of opener 'Settle Down' while a beautifully gothic take on 'Plain Gold Ring' is one of the rare instances of a Nina Simone cover matching the original. Echoing the experimental nature of recent collaborator Gotye, whose number one single 'Somebody That I Used to Know' she stole the show on, New Zealand songstress Kimbra's debut album, Vows, is a schizophrenic affair that is almost impossible to pigeonhole.Įffortlessly flitting from bubblegum pop starlet on the playful old-skool beats and '60s doo wop vocals of 'Cameo Lover' to avant-garde banshee on the melancholic music box-inspired closer, 'The Build Up,' Kimbra's chameleon-like tendencies ensure that predictability is certainly never an issue on any one of its 12 genre-hopping tracks.
