Kimbra is touring in support of her new album The Golden Echo, which will be released on August 19th via Warner Bros. Records. The album is available for pre-order from all participating retailers. Those who pre-order will receive two instant downloads of the album tracks “90s Music,” “Love In High Places” and “Nothing But You.”
The ultimate modern pop record, The Golden Echo is ambitious, sophisticated, and complex, just like its creator. The New Zealand-born singer and songwriter wrote the songs in her bedroom studio on a farm in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles, where she was surrounded by sheep and lambs owned by her landlady. A riot of genres, from Prince-like funk, to sing-songy electro-pop, to eerie space-age hip-hop, The Golden Echo was produced by Kimbra alongside Rich Costey (Foster The People, Interpol, Muse), and features contributions from drummer John JR Robinson (Michael Jackson), Muse’s Matt Bellamy, bassist Thundercat, R&B singer Bilal, mega-star John Legend, famed string arranger Van Dyke Parks, Silverchair’s Daniel Johns, and Queens Of The Stone Age bassist Michael Shuman.
The Golden Echois Kimbra's second album. Her 2011 debut,Vows, bowed at No. 14 on theBillboardTop 200 and was certified platinum in Australia and New Zealand. Kimbra exploded into the public consciousness that same year with"Somebody That I Used To Know,"a duet with Gotye that earned her Grammy Awards for "Record of the Year" and "Best Pop Duo/Group Performance." The song toppedBillboard's Hot 100 chart in 2012 and was the best-selling song of that year in the U.S. It has sold more than 13 million copies.
