There’s a playful spirit at the heart of her songcraft, reflected through the album’s eclecticism, its panning instruments and the layering of her expressive vocals that swoop and swoon to create a sonic hall of mirrors.ĭespite so many moving parts across a variety of emotional settings, enlivened by sounds that surge and swell, there’s an unmistakeable focus that guides the execution of her vision.Īt the heart of Vows is a colourful cast of characters to get fully invested in. We’d heard her classy features on Miami Horror’s ‘I Look To You’ as well as Gotye’s ‘Somebody That I Used to Know’, but her debut album Vows showed us that Kimbra was in a class of her own.
